Two time Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy-winners Mumbai will get their title defence underway against Railways in a Group A clash at Lucknow, with India T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav looking to break his lean run ahead of the T20I series against South Africa, which begins on December 9.
The Shardul Thakur led-team has plenty of international experience with Ajinkya Rahane, Shivam Dube, and Sarfaraz Khan also part of the squad. There is no dearth of promising talent on display either, with the likes of batters Ayush Mhatre, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, and Musheer Khan looking to push for higher honours. A strong start will set Mumbai up perfectly for the bigger challenges ahead.
Mumbai’s blend of experience and youth may prove too difficult to handle for an opponent shorn of star power. Railways will rely on veteran leg-spinner and captain Karn Sharma and firebrand finisher Ashutosh Sharma to do the bulk of the damage with ball and bat.
