Sutar and Chhakchhuak’s partnership is the third highest for the last wicket in the Ranji Trophy, 43 short of the all-time record of 233 held by Ajay Sharma (259) and Maninder Singh (78) for Delhi against Mumbai during the 1991-92 season.
Sutar had represented Mumbai earlier this year during the Vijay Hazare Trophy, the domestic 50-over competition, following impressive returns in the local leagues. In June, he steered MSC Maratha Royals to a successful title defence in the Mumbai T20 League, finishing the tournament with back-to-back half-centuries. He finished the season with 212 runs in six innings at a strike rate touching 120.
Prior to the start of the 2026-27 season, Sutar obtained an NoC from the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) and made his Ranji Trophy debut for Mizoram in last week’s season opener, hitting 35 and 99 in a three-wicket loss to Manipur. Mizoram’s fightback despite conceding a 68-run lead was due to Sutar’s second-innings effort.
