Rohit's Ranji Trophy Return Ends On 3, Jaiswal Too Falls Cheaply
Sharad Pawar Academy: Rohit Sharma's much-anticipated return to the Ranji Trophy was short-lived, lasting just 19 balls for three runs in Mumbai's Group A clash against Jammu and Kashmir at the Sharad Pawar Academy, here on Thursday.
The Indian Test and ODI captain, under scrutiny for his poor form, was in the spotlight after confirming his participation during the Champions Trophy squad announcement last week.
Rohit, opening alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal after Mumbai's captain Ajinkya Rahane chose to bat, looked focused despite a relaxed pre-match demeanour. However, his stay was brief. J&K’s Umar Nazir Mir, with a disciplined line and subtle movement, troubled Rohit with consecutive maidens. Rohit managed just a single through the on side and a couple of runs from a drive but fell to Mir’s 17th ball. A length delivery outside off with slight movement away drew a leading edge and Paras Dogra completed a straightforward catch at extra cover.
