Rohit Sharma is enduring a lean phase in Test cricket, the Ranji game is a big opportunity for him to regain his form
The match featuring Indian stars in action will also be telecast live on Jio Cinema. It will be a great opportunity for Rohit Sharma to regain his form. He will be returning to domestic cricket after nearly 10 years and will be looking to get some runs under his belt.
Rohit Sharma has gone through a lean phase in Test cricket as his last 8 Tests have been very scratchy. Indian National Cricket Team captain Rohit Sharma scored just 160 runs, 31 of which came during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 as the team lost 3-1.
The Mumbai team has been working hard for the last few days to prepare for the game against Jammu and Kashmir
Hence, the upcoming Ranji Trophy match will be extremely important for Rohit Sharma to stake his claim for the Test series against England. The batsman would be eager to score runs and earn some chances. On the other hand, Yashasvi Jaiswal will be back on the back of solid performances in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.
The Mumbai team has been working hard for the last few days to prepare for the match. It remains to be seen how the Indian stars will fare in the upcoming match against Jammu and Kashmir in Ranji Trophy 2024-25.
