Rohit Sharma Makes Long-Awaited Return to Ranji Trophy
India’s cricket captain, Rohit Sharma, is all set to don the Mumbai jersey for the Ranji Trophy match against Jammu and Kashmir, commencing on Thursday. This marks his first appearance in the prestigious domestic tournament in nine years, making it a highly anticipated event for fans and cricket enthusiasts alike.
Aiming for a Comeback
Rohit Sharma, known for his explosive batting and leadership skills, hopes to shake off a recent dry spell with the bat. His last Ranji Trophy outing was back in November 2015, where he scored a remarkable 113 runs against Uttar Pradesh. With upcoming international fixtures, including a five-match T20I series against England and the ICC Champions Trophy, this match could provide Rohit the perfect platform to regain his form.
Challenges Ahead
The past year has been challenging for Rohit in the Test arena, particularly during the recent tour of Australia where he only managed 31 runs across five innings. His performance in the 2024-25 Test season has also been underwhelming, with a mere 164 runs in eight matches at an average of 10.93. As he prepares for the Ranji Trophy, Rohit is keen to find his rhythm and confidence once again.
Leadership in Transition
While Rohit focuses on his individual performance, Suryakumar Yadav will lead the Indian team in the T20I series against England. This transition in leadership highlights the depth of talent in Indian cricket, but Rohit’s form remains crucial for the team’s success in the upcoming international fixtures.
