Rohit Sharma got out cheaply in the Ranji Trophy match against Jammu and Kashmir

Rohit Sharma, the star captain of India, just made the decision to participate in the current Ranji Trophy. Rohit’s decision to represent Mumbai after his dismal performance for the Indian team in the longest format. Rohit did not play well in any of the five Test matches he played in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024–25.

As concerns grow, the Indian captain’s run of poor scores persisted. As the Indian team prepares for the next Champions Trophy 2025, Rohit’s poor performance in the game’s longest format would worry the supporters.

In addition to Rohit, Yashasvi Jaiswal did not achieve great success. After playing eight deliveries, the great batter left the game with just four runs. It goes without saying that Mumbai’s match versus J&K started poorly.

Jammu & Kashmir performed admirably in first innings

Speaking of the match between Mumbai and Jammu & Kashmir, J&K put up a strong show despite Mumbai starting the match by batting first and coming out to bowl. Hardik Tamore and captain Ajinkya Rahane did not perform well after Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal failed in the first innings.

Rahane left after just 12 runs, while Tamore scored seven. Additionally, with Shivam Dube leaving for a duck, Shreyas Iyer put an additional 11 runs on the board. Mumbai had been reduced to 71 runs by the 20th over, while J&K had also lost seven wickets during that time. The lower-order batsmen from Mumbai will aim to steady the innings and score a reasonable total.
