Indian captain Rohit Sharma is currently looking for form. For this, he had decided to play for Mumbai in Ranji Trophy. However, he failed even after returning to Ranji after about 10 years. Rohit, who played Ranji Trophy match after about a decade, was dismissed after scoring just three runs in the first innings in Mumbai's match against Jammu and Kashmir. He was caught by Umar Nazir at the hands of Dogra. Rohit could play 19 balls. Not only Rohit, but Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shreyas Iyer and Mumbai captain Ajinkya Rahane's bat also remained silent. On the other hand, Shubman Gill in the match between Punjab and Karnataka and Rishabh Pant in the match between Delhi and Saurashtra also proved to be flops.

Rohit is playing Ranji match for the first time after 2015
Rohit's bat was silent in the three-match Test series against New Zealand at home and he could score only 93 runs in six innings. After this, he could score only 31 runs in five innings on the Australia tour. In such a situation, Rohit decided to play in Ranji to return to form before the Champions Trophy. He played a Ranji match for the first time after November 2015, but flopped here too. Now runs will be expected from him in the second innings.
Yashasvi's bat was also silent
Apart from Rohit, fellow opener Yashasvi Jaiswal also proved to be a flop in the Test. Yashasvi was out after scoring four runs with the help of one four in eight balls. He was out LBW by Aaqib Nabi. At the same time, Rahane returned to the pavilion after scoring 12 runs with the help of two fours in 17 balls. He was clean bowled by Umar Nazir. Shreyas Iyer was dismissed after scoring 11 runs in seven balls with the help of one four and one six. He was caught by Umar off Yudhveer Singh. Shivam Dubey could not open his account. Rohit, Yashasvi and Shreyas' flop performance has increased Team India's worries. All three are part of the Indian team in the Champions Trophy. India also has to play a three-match ODI series against England before the Champions Trophy. Rohit will also take charge in that series. However, it is very important for India's campaign that Rohit's bat performs well. If he scores runs, India will get a good start.
Shubman Gill got out after scoring four runs and Pant after scoring one run
Shubman Gill can be seen opening with Rohit in the Champions Trophy. Apart from Rohit and Yashasvi, Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill will also be seen playing in the Ranji Trophy. Pant is a part of the Delhi team and Gill is a part of the Punjab team. In Punjab's match against Karnataka, captain Shubman Gill was dismissed after scoring just four runs. He faced eight balls and hit a four. At the same time, Pant returned to the pavilion after scoring just one run in the match between Delhi and Saurashtra. Pant is also a part of the Indian team for the Champions Trophy. Pant could score one run in 10 balls. Dharmendra Singh Jadeja got him caught by Prerak Mankad. However, Saurashtra's Ravindra Jadeja definitely shone in this match and has taken two wickets of Delhi so far. Ravindra Jadeja dismissed Sanat Sangwan and Yash Dhul.
Gavaskar is happy with Rohit playing Ranji
Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar was very happy to know that Rohit is playing a comeback in the Ranji Trophy. He said, 'Yes, it is a good thing because he did not score runs in Australia. He knows that he needs to spend time at the crease. This is important before a big tournament no matter how much net practice you have or how many throwdowns you have to face. Feeling the ball in the middle of the bat while batting in a match and knowing that one mistake can send you back to the pavilion. Despite this, scoring runs is a big thing.' Mumbai's team is at third place in Elite Group A after Baroda and Jammu and Kashmir. If the Ajinkya Rahane-led team has to move ahead and defend its Ranji title, then they will have to perform well.
