The Ranji Trophy 2021-22 Final is turning out to be competitive. Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh's Yash Dubey and Shubham S Sharma have slammed centuries to put their side on top against Mumbai.
It is turning out to be a competitive encounter between Mumbai and Madhya Pradesh in the 2021-22 Ranji Trophy Final. Being played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, Day 3 has seen sheer dominance from the latter so far. Also, what's intriguing is that opener Yash Dubey and top-order batter Shubham S Sharma have done a phenomenal job with the bat, scoring twin constructive centuries to put MP on the top. At the same time, the match seems to be slowly slipping away from the hands of Mumbai. While it is Dubey's third First-Class (FC) century, it is the seventh for Shubham.
