দক্ষিণ আফ্রিকার বিপক্ষে খেলবেন মহম্মদ শামি! সামনে এল চাঞ্চল্যকর রিপোর্ট

Former chief selector Chetan Sharma praised Shami’s consistency in line, length, and pace, saying, “How can Shami bowl like this if he wasn’t fully fit?” Additionally, Rudrapratap Singh, a current selector, was present at Eden Gardens during the match against Gujarat. Shami’s performance had raised hopes for a call-up to India’s Test squad against South Africa.

Although he wasn’t selected for the Test team, there is now a strong possibility that Shami could be included in the Indian squad for the three-match ODI series starting November 30. Shami’s dedication in the Ranji Trophy, both on the field and in the nets, reflects his determination to return to the national team.

Critics and selectors alike acknowledge that his current form and fitness could significantly strengthen India’s pace attack. At this moment, Shami’s potential comeback has become one of the most talked-about topics in the cricketing world.

Bengal had posted a massive 474 runs in their first innings. After captain Sudip Kumar Gharami (0) and debutant Aditya Purohit (6) failed, the team was in trouble at 61 for 4. The experienced Anustup Majumdar and all-rounder Shahbaz Ahmed steadied the innings, putting on a 134-run partnership. Shahbaz scored a fiery 86 off 106 balls before getting out, while Anustup played a brilliant 135. On the second day, Sumanta Gupta scored a century (120), and with contributions from Rahul Prasad (40) and Vishal Bhati (36) towards the end, Bengal built a mountain of runs.

Railways’ reply was comparatively weak. By the end of the second day, they were 97 for 5. On the third day, Varghav Merai and Upendra Yadav showed some resistance with a 200-run partnership, putting Bengal under some pressure. But once Upendra (70) was dismissed by Mohammad Kaif, Railways’ innings collapsed. From 203 for 5, they were all out for 222, with Varghav (91) falling to Rahul Prasad, who along with Kaif took 2 wickets each.

Trailing by 252 runs, Railways were forced to follow-on. In the second innings, they struggled from the start. By the end of the third day, they were 90 for 5, still trailing by 162 runs, with only Varghav (20*) and Upendra (12*) at the crease.

Bengal’s camp is brimming with confidence. An innings victory would secure 7 points, giving them a huge advantage in the race for the Ranji Trophy knockout stage. If Shahbaz and Kaif can wrap up Railways early on the final day morning, that possibility remains firmly intact.

Bengal is shining on the Ranji stage with renewed energy. The fire of Shahbaz and Kaif’s bowling spells, combined with the batting brilliance of Anustup and Sumanta, has firmly established Gharami’s team as one of the tournament’s strongest sides.

Bengal’s innings began patiently. Sudip scored 108 before being dismissed, followed by a valuable 95-run innings from Zakir Gandhi. However, Bengal’s pace attack became the center of attention when Mohammed Shami and his brother Mohammed Kaif came on to bowl. Kaif bowled with energy from the start, restricting Tripura to 53/5. After taking another wicket shortly after, Tripura’s score stood at 93/6. At this point, Bengal fans were hopeful that the team could secure extra bonus points.

But a patient partnership between Hanuma Bihari and Vijay Shankar ended those hopes. By the end of the third day, Hanuma remained unbeaten on 121. He was eventually dismissed on the fourth day, with Tripura still just 16 runs behind. Bengal managed to take only two more wickets, falling short of the target. Captain Manishankar Murasing fought alone, remaining unbeaten on 102, and No. 10 batsman Rana Dutta added 27 runs, but the match ended in a draw.

Among the two pacers, Shami did not take any wickets, while Kaif claimed 4. Additionally, Ishan Porel took 3 wickets, Rahul Prasad 2, and Shahbaz Ahmed completed the remaining dismissals. Rain affected much of the first two days, and a string of missed catches by Bengal captain Abhishek Porel added to the team’s disappointment.

In the second innings, Bengal batted with a 49-run deficit, but the match was largely decided by then. In the end, Bengal scored 90 for 3 wickets, resulting in a draw. Bengal supporters praised the batsmen’s fight and Kaif’s bowling strategy, but Shami’s wicketless spell and several crucial dropped catches were significant setbacks.

Now, Bengal’s focus turns to securing full points in the upcoming match. The team knows that patience and discipline will be key to learning from this frustrating draw and aiming for better results in the future.

Play was interrupted by bad light on the first day. Bengal resumed Day 2 from 171/1, with Shakir and Sudip steadily building the innings. Shakir, however, fell for 95, just five runs short of a well-deserved century. At the other end, Sudip remained composed, bringing up a fine 108 off 250 balls, studded with 15 boundaries.

But once Sudip departed, Bengal’s batting collapsed. Veteran Anustup Majumdar (6), skipper Abhishek Porel (11), and Sumanta Gupta (5) fell cheaply, leaving Bengal struggling at 262/6.

Shahbaz Ahmed and Rahul Prasad then steadied the innings, adding 61 runs for the seventh wicket. Rahul scored 35, while Shahbaz continued to fight alone as wickets tumbled at the other end — Kaif went for a duck, and Shami for just 5.

Rain forced an early end to play, leaving Bengal on 336/9. For Tripura, Rana Dutta claimed three wickets, while Bikramkumar Das and Manishankar Murasingh took two apiece. Abhijit Sarkar and Swapnil Singh shared the remaining two.

After such a promising start, the collapse has left Bengal’s dressing room tense. With rain still a threat, Tripura will aim to grab the last wicket quickly and make a solid start with the bat on Day 3. Meanwhile, Bengal will hope Shahbaz can add a few more crucial runs to their total.

After a stellar performance in the first match, Shami carried his form into the second, claiming eight wickets against Gujarat, including a five-wicket haul in the second innings. Shahbaz, returning from injury, complemented him superbly, taking nine wickets across both innings. Together, their lethal bowling dismantled the Gujarat lineup, restricting them to just 141 runs in the second innings and sealing a 141-run win for Bengal.

Gujarat’s fightback on the fourth day had started promisingly. The partnership between Urvil Patel and Jaymit Patel had created difficulties for the home team. However, an unexpected injury to Urvil, who retired hurt, allowed Umesh Kumar to step in. Shahbaz’s sharp bowling quickly ended Gujarat’s resistance, and Shami’s magic in the final session, including three consecutive wickets, completely swung the match in Bengal’s favor. Even Urvil, who returned to score 109, could not salvage the innings.

Earlier, Bengal’s first innings saw them post a total of 279 runs, with contributions from Sumanta Gupta (63), Abhishek Porel (51), and Sudip Kumar Gharami (56). Gujarat, in response, struggled under disciplined Bengal bowling. Only Manan Hingrajia (80) showed resistance as Shahbaz picked up six wickets for 34 runs. Gujarat were bowled out for 167, giving Bengal a significant 112-run lead.

In the second innings, Bengal’s batting, though steady, drew some criticism for being overly cautious. Sudip Kumar Gharami and Anustup Majumdar both scored half-centuries, with Gharami registering back-to-back fifties across the innings. While the team faced criticism for not accelerating the scoring, the cautious approach proved effective in the context of weather interruptions and fading light, which could have prematurely ended play on multiple days. Bengal managed 214/8 declared, setting Gujarat a challenging target of 327 runs.

Urvil Patel initially gave Gujarat hope with a brisk knock, threatening a potential draw. But Shami and Shahbaz’s incisive bowling dismantled the batting lineup. Shami dismissed Abhishek Desai and Manan early, while Akash Deep removed Arya Desai. The Patel duo’s promising partnership was broken by Shahbaz, after which Shami took charge, picking up five wickets for just 38 runs. Shahbaz took three wickets in the second innings, bringing his match tally to nine.

The combined brilliance of Shami and Shahbaz ensured Bengal’s dominance, allowing them to comfortably secure a 141-run victory. With this win, Bengal now has 12 points from two matches, signaling a strong start to their Ranji Trophy campaign.

Shami’s pace and experience, paired with Shahbaz’s all-round capabilities, continue to be the cornerstone of Bengal’s resurgence in domestic cricket. On the other hand, Gujarat will need to regroup after depending heavily on individual performances, most notably Urvil Patel’s unbeaten century, to stay competitive.

Match Summary:

Bengal: 279 & 214/8 (declared)

Gujarat: 167 & 185

Result: Bengal won by 141 runs
