Bengal aim to begin Ranji Trophy campaign with victory against Andhra Pradesh


4th January 2024
Bengal will aim to begin their Ranji Trophy campaign on a winning note when they take on Andhra Pradesh in their opening Elite Group B match in Visakhapatnam starting on Friday.
The Laxmi Ratan Shukla-coached side will miss a few of their star players owing to national commitments and injury. 
Nevertheless, the finalists from the last season will look to begin their campaign on a high with a win in their away match.
The batting department will heavily rely on Sudip Kumar Gharami and the experienced Anustup Majumdar. The duo, who were in sublime form last season, will aim to score some big runs this year as well.
Skipper Manoj Tiwari will look to deliver with the bat and also lead his boys to triumph in this prestigious domestic tournament after coming so close the last time.
In the bowling department, Bengal will be led by Akash Deep and Ishan Porel.
