#2 Ajinkya Rahane to miss the remainder of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy due to injury

Mumbai have been jolted with a big blow ahead of the Super League of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Skipper Ajinkya Rahane is all set to miss the remainder of the tournament, following his thigh injury. Rahane scored 58 runs in six innings in the tournament and registered just one 30+ score.

The Indian Test vice-captain has informed the selectors about his unavailability as well. “He has informed the selectors about his unavailability due to injury,” sources were quoted saying by TOI.

Mumbai have had a terrible domestic season thus far and just when things seemed to be back on track, they’ve been hit by this injury blow. Shreyas Iyer will lead the side in the absence of Rahane. Mumbai won five out of their six league games as they topped Group C. They now face Karnataka in their first Super League game on March 8th.
