What started off as a hunt in Bristol with @sidvee ahead of the 2nd ODI in England ended in Durban during the World Twenty20 a month later, that too on a day he was announced ODI captain. It appeared in Hindustan Times on Sept 20, 07 #DhoniRetires

Just to stop the speculation: Sameer Dighe has NOT applied for the vacant post in India's senior men's national selection committee

Ayush Mhatre has a Grade 4 tear on his right hamstring. The Mumbai vice-captain has been ruled out for at least four to six weeks @the_hindu @sportstarweb

Ayush Mhatre remains in the dressing room due to a hamstring issue that had been bothering him even while batting on Day 1. He underwent scan yesterday evening. Suved Parkar continues to field as a substitute #RanjiTrophy

Tushar Deshpande is turning the heat on during the heat wave! Gets a five-wicket haul in his opening spell - including a hat-trick!!! #RanjiTrophy

Ha-trick for Tushar Deshpande!!!

Mumbai vice-captain Ayush Mhatre has not stepped on to the field yet. Suved Parkar is fielding as a substitute #RanjiTrophy

Tushar Deshpande joins Tanush Kotian at the crease, with Mumbai 271/7. Can the duo take Mumbai to safety, again? #RanjiTrophy

On the first day of his tenure as Mumbai's permanent Ranji Trophy captain, Siddhesh Lad has crossed the 5,000-run mark for Mumbai in First Class cricket @sportstarweb @TheHinduSports

It takes 11 balls to see the back of both the brothers. Musheer is the first to perish after poking to a wide ball while walking out of the crease. In Rohit Dhanda's next over, Sarfaraz Khan shoulders arms and Dhanda gets one to jag it back and the lbw appeal is upheld. Mumbai 144/4 on the cusp of tea #RanjiTrophy

Yashasvi Jaiswal's cautious start results in a 13-ball duck. Jagjit Singh - bowling over the wicket - draws him forward and induces an edge off an attempted drive to second slip. Mumbai 1 for 1 in 3 overs

The Wankhede pitch has a tinge of green and Manan Vohra has chosen to field after the coin landed in his favour? Can the Chandigarh pace pack make early inroads against Mumbai?

Nana Patekar was a fitness freak, a passionate cricket fan and a focused shooter! Don't miss a Kiran More anecdote about how he used to call Sachin Tendulkar and his teammates during India's famous tour to Pakistan in 1989
