T20 Mumbai League: Maratha Royals Appoint Siddhesh Lad As Captain
A technically sound, level-headed batsman with over a decade of experience, Lad, 32, has played 74 First Class, 50 List A, and 60 T20 matches, amassing more than 4,100 runs in the Ranji Trophy, where he stands eighth on Mumbai’s all-time run-scorers list. An occasional off-spinner, he also spent time playing in the UK before returning to hit a career-best 169* against Odisha in the 2024–25 Ranji season. Known as Mumbai’s “crisis man” for his ability to steady innings under pressure, Lad brings that same grit and game awareness to the Maratha Royals.
Beyond the captaincy, the squad sees two changes, with Rohan Raje and Saksham Parashar coming in for icon player Tushar Deshpande – who will miss the season owing to national commitments with the India A squad touring England - and Arman Jaffer.
