Mumbai Reach 249/5 on Opening Day Against Chandigarh in Ranji Trophy
Mumbai began their 2026-27 Ranji Trophy campaign with a strong batting performance against Chandigarh at Wankhede Stadium. Skipper Siddhesh Lad scored an unbeaten 80, supported by Musheer Khan's patient 65 and Ayush Mhatre's 48, helping Mumbai reach 249 for five on Day 1. Chandigarh's pacer Rohit Dhanda took three wickets, including key dismissals of Mhatre and Musheer. Mumbai's top order showed resilience after early setbacks, while Chandigarh's recent coaching change adds context to their season start.
