Siddhesh Lad replaces Shardul Thakur as Mumbai captain in Ranji Trophy
Mumbai appoint Lad as Ranji captain to manage Thakur's workload across formats.

Siddhesh Lad has been appointed Mumbai's captain for the forthcoming Ranji Trophy season, replacing Shardul Thakur. Lad was Mumbai's highest run-scorer in the previous Ranji Trophy season.
The change aims to manage Thakur's workload across formats. Suryakumar Yadav or Shreyas Iyer will lead Mumbai in the white-ball formats, depending on their availability.
Mumbai reached the quarter-finals under Thakur's captaincy last season. Lad takes over as the side aims to end its title drought in domestic cricket.
CricHubb Take
Lad's appointment signals Mumbai's preference for a specialist red-ball leader who can focus solely on the longer format without white-ball distractions.
