Ranji Trophy 2025-26 Round One: Mohammed Shami, Ishan Kishan Shine On Day 1

The Ranji Trophy 2025-26 season kickstarted at various venues across India on Wednesday (October 15). Out-of-favour India seamer Mohammed Shami grabbed three wickets in four balls in the fag end of the day to help Bengal bundle out Uttarakhand for 213 on the opening day of their Elite Group C fixture. In reply, Bengal made a jittery start as captain and India Test hopeful Abhimanyu Easwaran was dismissed in the first ball. In Coimbatore, Jharkhand captain Ishan Kishan lifted his team from a tricky situation with a statement hundred as the visitors reached 307 for six against hosts Tamil Nadu. And in Srinagar, Siddhesh Lad struck a gritty 116 while Shams Mulani made an unbeaten 79 to drive Mumbai to 336 for five against Jammu and Kashmir.
