The last one year has been very bad for Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma in red ball cricket. He is struggling to score runs continuously. On the other hand, BCCI has adopted a strict attitude after the disappointing tour of Australia and has made it mandatory for any player to play domestic cricket if he is fit. In such a situation, Rohit Sharma also decided to participate in Ranji Trophy. He entered this tournament after 10 years. But he was a complete flop. In such a situation, now he has taken another big decision.
Rohit Sharma played a Ranji Trophy match against Jammu and Kashmir. His aim was to regain his lost form in Tests from this match. But he flopped in both the innings. He could score only 3 runs in the first innings of this match and 28 runs in the second innings. That means his bat once again remained quiet in red ball cricket. In such a situation, now Rohit has decided to focus on white ball cricket again, keeping in mind the ODI series against England and then the Champions Trophy.
Rohit Sharma will not play in the next round of Ranji Trophy 2024-25. Mumbai team's next match is with Meghalaya from January 30. According to the report of Indian Express, Rohit has decided not to play further in Ranji Trophy due to preparations for the ODI series against England and then the Champions Trophy. He has also informed the Mumbai team management about this. On the other hand, Yashasvi Jaiswal will also not be seen in Mumbai's next Ranji Trophy match. He is also a part of the Indian team for the England series and Champions Trophy.
Even though Mumbai team included star players like Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shreyas Iyer, Shivam Dubey and Shardul Thakur in the match played against Jammu and Kashmir. But he had to face defeat in this match. Jammu and Kashmir won the match by 5 wickets. Let us tell you, Mumbai is the defending champion of Ranji. Despite this, the Jammu and Kashmir team dominated them and was successful in showing a strong game against all these star players.
