Is Shubham Ranjane Out of IND vs USA T20 World Cup 2026 Match?

India and USA have kick-started their campaign in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 on February 7 at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. Both teams will be eyeing a win to set a perfect start for the entire tournament.

As the first innings ended with India posting 161 runs, Monank Patel-led USA didn't look quite pleased as they had India in trouble at one point. Adding to it, they suffered an injury concern as all-rounder Shubham Ranjane injured his knee during the fielding.

Is Shubham Ranjane Out of IND vs USA Match?

USA's star all-rounder Shubham Ranjane was spotted having an issue with his right knee while bowling in the 18th over. He looked in severe pain and didn't look like bowling the last ball of the over. However, he showed grit and completed his over before leaving the field with the physio. His last ball of the over was a low full toss in which he didn't concede any run.

According to Shubham Ranjane injury updates, he is not fully fit but has come out to bat as his team needed him. However, he isn't fully fit and that can be visible through his running as well.

Meanwhile, fast bowler Ali Khan also looked in pain and was clearly struggling with an injury. He also went off the field after his bowling. USA might be in huge trouble if these injuries are serious.

Shubham bowled two overs and gave away 16 runs in the IND vs USA T20 World Cup match. The all-rounder had earlier dropped the catch of India's skipper Suryakumar Yadav, who ended up scoring a valuable 84 off just 49 balls.

Shubham Ranjane in Excellent Batting Form

Shubham Ranjane has been in splendid form with the bat for the past one year or so. He is one of those players who started his careers in India but went to USA for more opportunities. The former Maharashtra player aims to be one of the best all-rounders in the world one day.

Ranjane is a useful T20 player who can bat in the middle order and can bowl crucial overs as well. He has an average of more than 32 in T20 cricket. He has the experience of playing in some of the biggest cricket leagues in the world.

While he has played in SA20, BPL, and ILT20, his MLC record stands him above the rest. The right-hander averages almost 42 at a strike rate of more than 140 in Major League cricket while playing for Seattle Orcas.
