Ranji Trophy 2025: Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal Fail to Impress in Comeback Match

Rohit Sharma's much-anticipated return to Ranji cricket ended in disappointment as he scored just 3 runs after a nine-year gap. Yashasvi Jaiswal, too, failed to impress, scoring only 4 runs. Mumbai's strong lineup, led by Ajinkya Rahane, faced an early setback against a disciplined Jammu & Kashmir bowling attack.

Ranji Trophy 2025: The Ranji Trophy match between Mumbai and Jammu & Kashmir began on January 23 at the BKC Ground, Mumbai. The spotlight was on Indian skipper Rohit Sharma and young talent Yashasvi Jaiswal, but both players failed to make an impact.

Rohit Sharma's Disappointing Comeback

Rohit Sharma returned to Ranji cricket after 9 years and 3 months but managed to score just 3 runs before getting caught by Paras Dogra off Umar Nazir’s delivery. The 37-year-old skipper’s struggles with form continue as he faced criticism for his recent performances, including the Test series against Australia, where he scored just 31 runs in 5 innings.

Rohit last played Ranji Trophy in November 2015, where he scored a remarkable 113 runs against Uttar Pradesh. In his first-class career, Rohit has scored 9,290 runs in 128 matches with a highest score of 309.* He has also taken 24 wickets as a part-time bowler.

Yashasvi Jaiswal Also Falls Early

Yashasvi Jaiswal, another key player, was dismissed for just 4 runs, trapped LBW by Aaqib Nabi. The young opener, who has shown promise in recent matches, couldn’t contribute significantly in this game.

Mumbai's Playing XI Features Big Names

Led by Ajinkya Rahane, Mumbai's team included stars like Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shreyas Iyer, Shardul Thakur, and Shivam Dube. Despite having a strong lineup, Mumbai faced challenges early in the innings.

Jammu & Kashmir's Solid Start

The Jammu & Kashmir team, captained by Paras Dogra, also featured talented players like Abdul Samad, Vivrant Sharma, and Umar Nazir, who played key roles in the early dismissals of Mumbai's top order.
