Even though Shreyas Iyer made little impact with the bat after coming to play for Mumbai in their Ranji Trophy 2024 semi-final against Tamil Nadu, he wrapped things up to take Ajinkya Rahane & Co. home.

Coming to bat at No. 6, Shreyas fell for a paltry eight-ball three to Sandeep Warrier, his former KKR colleague. Yet, riding on Shardul Thakur’s maiden First-Class century, Mumbai posted a respectable total of 378 in reply to Tamil Nadu’s 146.

Then, Tamil Nadu were folded for 162, leaving them to suffer an innings and a 70-run defeat in a heartbreaking result for Sai Sudharsan, N Jagadeesan, R Sai Kishore, Vijay Shankar, Washington Sundar, Baba Indrajith, and Kuldeep Sen, among others.

For Mumbai, Shams Mulani took the final wicket, and ironically, it was Shreyas Iyer who completed a simple catch of the man who dismissed him, Sandeep Warrier.

Meanwhile, Mumbai will play the final against the winner of the 1st semi-final, in which Vidarbha and Madhya Pradesh are taking on each other for a place in the summit clash. As of now, Vidarbha are favourites, courtesy of a 261-run lead in the second innings.

At stumps on Day 3, Vidarbha reached 343/6 after Madhya Pradesh closed on 252 in the first innings. Notably, Vidarbha’s first-innings score read 170.

The final, meanwhile, is likely to take place at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
