Ranji Trophy: Rahane scores fifty as Mumbai qualify for knockouts

Much to his relief, Mumbai skipper Ajinkya Rahane, who had been struggling badly this season, finally found a semblance of his form, scoring an unbeaten 56 (124b, 6x4, 1x6) on the fourth and final day as Mumbai drew their Ranji Trophy Elite Group B match against Chhattisgarh at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium in Raipur. Thanks to gaining a first innings lead, Mumbai earned three points out of the tie, and they now have 30 points after six games, which means that the 41-time champions have qualified for the Ranji Trophy knockouts after crashing out at the league stage of the tournament last season.
