 "Rohit Sharma, Yashshwi Jaiswal are going to play Ranji together, will Rohit’s performance improve?")
After losing the Test series against Australia, Rohit Sharma has decided to play domestic cricket. Rohit Sharma will be seen playing in Ranji. Yashshwi Jaiswal will also be with him. Today i.e. 23rd January, they will play against Jammu and Kashmir.
Rohit Sharma, who is currently struggling with poor form, will look to get back into the rhythm. His performance in the series against Australia was quite poor. Despite being India’s ODI and Test captain, Rohit will not lead the Mumbai team in this match. Instead, Ajinkya Rahane will captain the team in this match.
Rahane has been the red-ball captain of the Mumbai team since last season. Rohit Sharma will feature in the opening Ranji matches but will not be available for the knockout stages as he will be busy with international matches. The Ranji Trophy match has started at 9:30 am. It is being telecasted on Sports 18 channel. Rohit Sharma last played Ranji Trophy in 2015.
