  "account": "The inaugural day of the Ranji Trophy 2026-27 season saw India's seasoned Test players struggle in their early matches. Mumbai's Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul, both opening batsmen, were dismissed within the opening hour of their respective innings in Mumbai and Mulkapur. Jaiswal was bowled for a 13-ball duck, while Rahul was caught for four runs after being last man out. In the Plate group match, Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland faced cancellation due to a legal dispute among the Arunachal association, leaving the team without a lineup for the match in Ahmedabad. The BCCI has informed Arunachal's opponents that the state unit may not field a team until a court decision is delivered by the Guwahati High Court.",
