Rohit Sharma To Play Ranji Trophy Against Jammu And Kashmir
India Test and ODI skipper Rohit Sharma put an end to rumors that he would participate in the Ranji Trophy by confirming that he would play in the nation’s premier red-ball tournament. When Mumbai plays Jammu Kashmir, which begins on January 23, Rohit will be in the starting lineup.
When asked about his involvement on Saturday, Rohit responded, “I will (play).”
He recently trained at the Wankhede Stadium with the Mumbai Ranji team. He batted with Ajinkya Rahane and faced the bowlers.
In addition to Rohit, Yashasvi Jaiswal, a rising star in India, has notified team coach Omkar Salvi of his availability and is anticipated to play in the match against J&K.
The last Ranji match that Rohit Sharma, one of India’s best batters of the modern age, participated in was in November 2015.

However, he clarified that India’s players don’t play domestic cricket on a regular basis because they require time to recuperate from the demanding international schedule.
If you look at our calendar, we haven’t been at home for forty-five days throughout the last six to seven years when cricket is playing. When the IPL is over and nothing occurs, you do have time. October marks the start of our domestic season, which lasts until March. “Guys who don’t play every format can play when domestic cricket matches are taking place,” Rohit stated.
“No player takes domestic competitions for granted,” he remarked.
Personally, I barely have time now that I’ve been playing Test cricket on a regular basis since 2019. Playing international cricket on a regular basis requires rest in order to recharge. Rohit clarified, “No one takes anything for granted.
This comes after Rohit received harsh criticism for his dismal batting performance during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Rohit’s form was so awful that he chose not to play in the tour’s fifth and final Test. Throughout the series, the 37-year-old only scored 31 runs in five innings.
