In the current season of Ranji Trophy, the thrill of the last round matches has begun. During this time, Meghalaya is competing with Ajinkya Rahane's captaincy team from Mumbai. At the beginning of this match, Meghlai batted first and saw a very embarrassing performance by his players. The entire team of Meghalaya was all out for just 86 runs in their first innings.

In the last round of the current season of Ranji Trophy, the condition of the Meghalaya batsmen in front of Mumbai was disturbed. Meghlai's batsmen could not stand in front of Indian fast bowler Shardul Thakur's dangerous bowling. On the score of just 2 runs, 6 batsmen of Meghalaya team had returned to the pavilion. During this, Shardul also did the feat of taking a hat -trick.
5 out of 6 batsmen could not even open their account. Meghalaya's team managed to score 82 runs in 24.3 overs in their first innings. This is the first time in the 91 -year history of the Ranji Trophy, when a team lost 6 wickets on such a low score.
The top of this list is Merilbone Cricket Club. In the match against Surrey in 1872, the MCC team was all out for just 16 runs. MCC's score was zero till the first 6 wickets fell. This match in Lord's is still recorded in the pages of history.
