Ajinkya Rahane: Mumbai captain Ajinkya Rahane was given out for the first time in his sixteen-year professional career for blocking the field during the final league match of the Ranji Trophy at the BKC Ground in Mumbai.

However, he was suddenly brought back to bat after the opponent, Assam, withdrew the appeal.

The incident unfolded during the final over before tea, with Mumbai at 102 for 4 in response to Assam's 84 all-out. Rahane, batting on 18, drove a delivery from Assam debutant Dibakar Johri to mid-on and attempted a single. However, a miscommunication with his batting partner Shivam Dube led to a hesitant return to the crease, resulting in Rahane being hit by a throw from Assam captain Denish Das.
