The Moment:
Ajinkya Rahane faced a close call in the Ranji Trophy 2024 final between Mumbai and Vidarbha at the Wankhede Stadium. While batting at just 1 run, Vidarbha’s pace spearhead, Umesh Yadav, delivered a ball that sharply seamed in, catching Rahane off guard. The loud appeal for LBW echoed in the stadium as Rahane missed his push, and the on-field umpire initially turned down the appeal.
Vidarbha, not satisfied with the decision, opted for a review. The technology revealed that the ball would have hit the stumps, saving the Mumbai captain on umpire’s call. The decision left Umesh Yadav visibly shocked and Rahane with a sense of relief as he narrowly escaped dismissal.
