Rohit Sharma’s Struggles Continue in Ranji Trophy with Early Exit Against Jammu & Kashmir
India captain Rohit Sharma’s recent run of poor form continued in the ongoing Ranji Trophy as he failed to make an impact while playing for Mumbai against Jammu & Kashmir. Opening the innings, Rohit’s troubles with the bat persisted as he struggled to handle the opposition’s bowlers. After facing 19 deliveries, he was dismissed for just 3 runs.
Joining him at the crease, fellow star batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal also had a tough outing, falling for just 4 runs. Rohit’s lack of runs comes on the back of disappointing performances in recent red-ball cricket, including the Test series against Australia where he managed only 31 runs across five innings. His failure to capitalize on opportunities during the home series against New Zealand earlier added to his struggles.
The continued slump in form has raised concerns and invited criticism, particularly with India’s leadership under scrutiny. As the captain, Rohit’s inability to deliver with the bat in key matches has drawn attention, and his supporters will be hoping for a turnaround as he aims to regain his touch in the upcoming fixtures.
