Rohit Sharma’s return to Ranji Trophy after 10 years lasted only 18 balls as the India captain managed just three runs after Ajinkya Rahane-led Mumbai opted to bat first against Jammu and Kashmir at the BKC ground on Thursday. The last time Rohit played a Ranji Trophy game was back in 2015.
Following his poor run with the bat for India in the Test series against New Zealand and Australia, Rohit’s decision to play for Mumbai came after BCCI made it mandatory for all the players to play domestic cricket when not on national duty, in an attempt to keep all the players in form.
Opening the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit started on a cautious note, trying to settle in the middle against the new ball.
