Delhi’s Ranji Trophy campaign closes sans two dynamos, Ayush Badoni and Priyansh Arya, for the Mumbai face-off at BKC Ground Thursday. Mumbai, group toppers with knockout entry locked, face a motivated Delhi hungry for a positive season coda from sixth spot.
India A duties prevail: the pair gears for T20 World Cup 2026 warm-ups—USA on Feb 2 in Navi Mumbai’s DY Patil, Namibia Feb 6 in Bengaluru’s COE.
These tune-ups herald the India-Sri Lanka co-hosted T20 spectacle, Feb 7-March 8.
Badoni, India A veteran in Tests and List A, reunites with Arya, the white-ball warrior. Badoni’s India debut chance flickered in recent NZ ODIs, unused.
DDCA’s Ashok Sharma clarified: ‘India A selected them for warm-ups. Dossage, tournament’s run king, leads Delhi.’
Dossage’s promotion underscores his form, helming a talented eleven: captains the charge with Sanat Sangwan, Sumit Mathur, and emerging stars.
Complete team: Ayush Dossage (captain), Sanat Sangwan, Vaibhav Kandpal, Sumit Mathur, Pranav Rajvansh, Siddhant Sharma, Dhruv Kaushik, Rahul Dagar, Anuj Rawat, Divij Mehra, Aryan Rana, Mani Grewal, Rohan Rana, Rahul Chaudhary.
This pivot from Ranji rigors to World Cup prep spotlights the exciting crossroads of domestic excellence fueling India’s international crusade.
