Current Performance of Indian Captain Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma’s recent performance in Test cricket has been underwhelming, prompting him to participate in the Ranji Trophy. However, his start in the tournament has not been impressive either. In the ongoing match between Mumbai and Jammu and Kashmir at the Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy BKC, Mumbai, Rohit Sharma’s batting has been a letdown.
Match Details and Fan Reaction
The match, which began on January 23, saw Mumbai win the toss and choose to bat. Rohit Sharma, along with Yashasvi Jaiswal, opened the innings for the team. Unfortunately, Rohit’s batting was disappointing, scoring only 3 runs in 19 balls without hitting a single boundary. The fans, however, continued to show their support, chanting “Mumbai Cha Raja Rohit Sharma” as he fielded near the boundary line, with a video of the moment going viral on social media.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, who partnered with Rohit, also failed to make a significant impact, scoring 4 runs in 8 balls with one four. The team’s overall performance was lackluster, with Mumbai being all out for just 120 runs in their first innings. Shardul Thakur was the top scorer, with 51 runs in 57 balls, including 5 fours and 2 sixes, while Tanush Kotian contributed 26 runs with 5 fours.
