Watch: On Ranji Trophy Return, Rohit Sharma’s Reaction Says It All After Early Dismissal
Rohit Sharma’s dismal run continued as he was dismissed for just 3 runs during Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy match against Jammu and Kashmir on January 23, 2025. This marked his return to domestic cricket after nearly a decade, with his last appearance in the tournament dating back to 2015. Rohit’s performance has drawn significant criticism following a disappointing Test series against Australia, where he managed only 31 runs across three matches before opting out of the final Test.
Watch it here.
In the match at BKC Ground, Rohit faced a short-pitched delivery from Umar Nazir Mir, which caught him off guard and resulted in a leading edge that was easily caught by Yudhvir Singh. His early dismissal compounded Mumbai’s struggles, as fellow opener YashasviJaiswal also fell cheaply for just 5 runs.
AjinkyaRahane, Mumbai’s captain, had hoped for a strong performance from his star players after winning the toss and opting to bat first. However, Rohit’s continued struggles raise concerns about his form ahead of the ODI series against England and the upcoming Champions Trophy. With pressure mounting, Rohit will need to find his rhythm quickly as he aims to regain confidence in his batting ahead of international duties.
