Shaw, Rahane fail as Mumbai struggles
Ajinkya Rahane and Prithvi Shaw faltered yet again as Karnataka pacers wreaked havoc and bundled out Mumbai for a paltry 194 on the opening day of the Elite Ranji Trophy game here. However, skipper Suryakumar Yadav (77 off 94 balls; 10x4 and 2x6) stood alone at BKC ground when all other batsmen failed. His knock ensured that the host at least went past the 175-run mark.

Earlier, the four-pronged Karnataka pace attack justified skipper Karun Nair’s decision to bowl first on a breezy morning as they ran through the Mumbai batting line-up. Mumbai was reduced to 86/6 at lunch.
Opener Aditya Tare (0) was dismissed by medium pacer V Koushik (3-45). Rahane then joined Shaw as the two tried to steady the ship. Rahane (7) got a start but failed to convert it. Rahane got a ‘life’ on 7 when pacer Ronit More (2-47) failed to latch on to a return catch.
Brief scores: Mumbai 194 (Suryakumar Yadav 77; Shashank Attarde 35; V Koushik 3-45, Prateek Jain 2-20) vs Karnataka 79/3 (R Samarth 40 batting, Shams Mulani 2/13). Karnataka trailed by 115 runs.
At Kanpur: Uttar Pradesh versus Tamil Nadu: No play on opening day.
At Vadodara: Baroda 201 (Deepak Hooda 86; Aditya Waghmode 31; Amit Mishra 4-51; Himanshu Sangwan 3-57) versus Railways 24/2. Railways trailed by 177 runs.
At Dharamshala: Himachal Pradesh 175 (A P Vashisht 33, P S Khanduri 31; Avesh Khan 5-52; Ishwar Pandey 3-51) vs Madhya Pradesh 87/4 (Rameez Khan 36 batting; P P Jaswal 2-16). Madhya Pradesh trailed by 88 runs
Injury scare for Prithvi, goes off the field after hurting shoulder
Barely a week before leaving for New Zealand with the India A team, Prithvi Shaw hurt his left shoulder while fielding during the Ranji Trophy match between Mumbai and Karnataka here on Friday. The incident happened in the third session at the Bandra Kurla Complex ground when Shaw dived to save an overthrow. He was immediately taken off the field. Shaw is named in the India A squad for the upcoming New Zealand tour and the team leaves on January 10. After the day’s play, Mumbai skipper Suryakumar Yadav said Shaw looked better. “He (Shaw) looks better. Looking at him on the ground, it was not looking good but now I think he is looking good. Later on I will get to know from the physio on what exactly the situation is (with regard to him),” Surya told reporters here. A source from the Mumbai team said as a precautionary measure, Shaw underwent an MRI scan.
