Ajinkya Rahane decides to relinquish Mumbai Ranji captaincy
Ajinkya Rahane has announced his decision to give up the captaincy of the Mumbai Ranji team ahead of the 2025-26 domestic season. However, he will continue playing for the side.
"Captaining and winning championships with the Mumbai team has been an absolute honour. With a new domestic season ahead, I believe it's the right time to groom a new leader. And hence I've decided not to continue in the captaincy role. I remain fully committed to giving my best as a player and will continue my journey with @MumbaiCricAssoc to help us win more trophies. Looking forward to the season," Rahane wrote in a social media post.
Rahane has played 201 first-class matches, piling up 14,000 runs. Under his leadership, Mumbai won their first Ranji Trophy title in the 2023/24 season, breaking a seven-year drought. Meanwhile, the upcoming Ranji season gets underway on October 15, and Mumbai will face Jammu and Kashmir in their opening game.
