New Delhi
After losing the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 1-3 in Australia, several star Indian players ran in the second phase of Ranji Trophy 2024-25. Players like Rohit Sharma, Yaswi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant are part of their respective home team in Ranji. However, Indian stars did not shine in domestic matches. Indian captain Rohit surprised the most, whose poor form continues. Playing for Mumbai, he scored 3 in the first innings of the match against Jammu and Kashmir and 28 runs in the second innings. Yashasvi is also Mumbai. He added 4 and 26 runs. At the same time, Pant scored 1 and 17 runs for Delhi. Former Indian cricketer and famous commentator Akash Chopra has imposed a class when India’s star batsmen flopped in Ranji. He said that the powerhouse was shaken in Ranji.
‘Powerhouse shook both innings’
Akash said on his YouTube channel, “The match was getting very close to my house. You must be wondering what I am talking about? I am talking about the match of brother, Mumbai and Jammu and Kashmir. The Mumbai team was struggling at the time of recording. The team consists of players like Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ajinkya Rahane, Shreyas Iyer, Shivam Dubey and Shardul Thakur. It is a powerhouse. Jammu and Kashmir shaken not in an innings but in both innings. Many players went to play Ranji Trophy, it is not just about Mumbai. Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant and Rajat Patidar also went. There was a long list, who played, he was out. It is amazing. Runs are not scored in the Ranji Trophy. This has become a new story. ” Let us know that after the Australia series, the head coach of the Indian team Gautam Gambhir had emphasized the importance of playing more and more in domestic cricket for Test players.
‘All -rounder Jadeja did wonders’
The commentator further said, “Why do you have to go to play Ranji Trophy?” This is interesting. The truth is that you do anything here, do not score runs, do not make any difference to your career. Your test form is not going to make a difference. Second part is more important. Your test form has nothing to do with this, because India has to play the next Test after five months. Even if you make 100 now, the form will be gone by then. However, runs have to be scored, wickets have to be taken. Ravindra Jadeja has done wonders. He also scored runs and took wickets but the rest of the players did not perform. ” All -rounder Jadeja took 12 wickets against Delhi and scored 35 runs for Saurashtra. He was elected Player of the Match.
