Veteran Test cricketer Wriddhiman Saha has expressed his unwillingness to play for Bengal in the Ranji Trophy, Cricket Association of Bengal President Avishek Dalmiya said. After a great outing in IPL 2022, Saha had been included in the Ranji squad for the upcoming Ranji knockouts. This reportedly annoyed him as the decision was not taken with his consultation. Following this, the 37-year-old exited the team's WhatsApp group and informed about his decision to not participate in Ranji Trophy. Dalmiya said that the management tried its best to convince him. However, Saha has made up his mind to not play for Bengal again, he added. While the wicket-keeper batter is yet to ask for the no-objection certificate from the state association, the CAB president said that it will be given to him, whenever he asks for it. This might turn out to be the end of Saha's Ranji Trophy career. Saha who made his debut in 2007 has played 122 first-class and 102 List A matches.Bengal will play their Ranji quarterfinal on June 6 against Jharkhand.

Tap to know what Cricket Association Bengal's president had to say

Dalmiya&nbsp;said that the management tried its best to convince him. However,&nbsp;Saha&nbsp;has made up his mind not to play for Bengal again, he added.

Veteran Test cricketer&nbsp;Wriddhiman&nbsp;Saha&nbsp;has expressed his unwillingness to play for Bengal in the Ranji&nbsp;Trophy, Cricket Association of Bengal President Avishek&nbsp;Dalmiya said.&nbsp; After a great&nbsp;outing in IPL&nbsp;2022,&nbsp;Saha&nbsp;had been included in the Ranji&nbsp;squad for the upcoming Ranji&nbsp;knockouts. This reportedly annoyed him as the decision was not taken with his consultation. Following this, the 37-year-old allegedly exited the team's WhatsApp&nbsp;group and informed about his decision to not participate in Ranji&nbsp;Trophy.&nbsp; Dalmiya&nbsp;said that the management tried its best to convince him. However,&nbsp;Saha&nbsp;has made up his mind to not play for Bengal again, he added. While the wicket-keeper batter is yet to ask for the no-objection certificate from the state association, the CAB president said that it will be given to him, whenever he asks for it.&nbsp;This might turn out to be the end of Saha's&nbsp;Ranji&nbsp;Trophy career. Saha&nbsp;who made his debut in 2007 has played 122 first-class and 102 List A matches.

Virat Kohli has had a horrendous 2022 IPL season. The ex-RCB captain could only score 341 runs in 16 matches for his team. Even in their last match of the season against Rajasthan Royals wherein they faced a 7 wicket defeat, Virat Kohli who opened the batting for RCB was out for just 7 runs. Concerned with the dip in his fall, Virender Sehwag said that this is not the Virat Kohli people have seen. Even in International cricket, the ex-India skipper has struggled to score a ton. He scored his last century in 2019. However, his IPL performance, Sehwag feels had more mistakes than his entire IPL career. In the past 5 years, it is for the first time that the flamboyant batter has scored less than 400 runs. His average has also dropped to 22.7 in comparison to previous years when he has enjoyed an average of around 40. Highlighting the issues with his form, the former Indian cricketer Sehwag called out Kohli for losing his wicket in every possible way this season. Kohli has suffered 3 golden ducks, was run out this season which has disappointed Sehwag immensely. Forgetting caught recklessly in Rajasthan's match, Sehwag without mincing his words said, 'it was as if he was giving catch practice to like it is done for slip fielders during net sessions!'

Rajasthan Royals did not break a 12-year-old tradition of the Indian Premier League as they qualified for the finals in the 15th edition of the lucrative league.

IPL 2022, Gujarat Titans (GT) vs Rajasthan Royals (RR), Final Preview: The two most dominating teams of this IPL, the debutants Gujarat Titans (GT) and the Rajasthan Royals (RR) will face each other in the IPL 2022 final at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday.
Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat Titans have been enjoying their maiden IPL season as they reached the final in their debut after crushing Rajasthan in Qualifier 1. The team also became the first team to qualify for the playoffs as they finished on top of the points table with 10 wins in 14 matches.
On the other hand, the 2008 IPL champions Rajasthan Royals have reached their first final in 14 years and they would be looking to win the title for the late spin king Shane Warne who led the team to the tournament's maiden trophy in IPL 2008. Sanju Samson's Rajasthan had lost the Qualifier 1 to Gujarat but came back stronger against Royal Challengers Bangalore in Qualifier 2 to reach the final. 
This match will not only decide the winner of the tournament but also decide who will win the Orange and Purple caps. Other than RCB's Wanindu Hasaranga, no other bowler is closer to RR's Yuzvendra Chahal who has taken 26 wickets so far with RR having one match in hand. Having scored 824 runs in 16 matches, Jos Buttler is leading the list of the batters with the most runs and in all possible ways, he is likely to win the Orange cap this season.
