Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill Struggle on Ranji Trophy Return
India’s star cricketers, Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Shubman Gill, failed. They failed to shine in their Ranji Trophy matches. In Round 6 of the prestigious tournament, all three players scored in the single digits.
Rohit Sharma’s Comeback Falls Flat
Rohit Sharma returned to the Ranji Trophy after nearly a decade. He represented Mumbai in their Elite Group A match against Jammu and Kashmir at the BKC ground in Mumbai. However, the Indian captain scored only 3 runs off 19 balls before being out.
- Dismissal: Rohit fell to pacer Umar Nazir in the sixth over, getting caught on a mistimed shot.
- Bowler Dominance: J&K’s Umar Nazir and Auqib Nabi troubled the Mumbai captain in his brief innings.
Yashasvi Jaiswal Falls to Nabi
Yashasvi Jaiswal, a rising star in India, also struggled in the Mumbai vs Jammu and Kashmir match. The left-hander managed only 5 runs off 8 balls before being trapped LBW by Auqib Nabi.
- Key Wicket for J&K: Nabi’s delivery caught Jaiswal off guard, leading to an early exit for the talented batter.
Shubman Gill Below Par in Punjab vs Karnataka Clash
Shubman Gill, of Punjab, also failed to impress in his first Ranji Trophy game in over two and a half years. In his much-anticipated return to the domestic circuit, Gill faced Karnataka. He was dismissed for just 4 runs off 8 balls.
- Last Ranji Trophy Appearance: Gill’s last Ranji Trophy game was in July 2022. So, this outing was his first in over 30 months.
- Underwhelming Return: The star opener couldn’t find his rhythm. Punjab’s top order suffered as a result.
Tough Day for India’s Star Batters
Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Shubman Gill failed. This shows how unpredictable domestic cricket is. Its conditions often challenge even the best international players.
It was a disappointing day for the trio. Fans hope for a strong comeback in the Ranji Trophy.
