Fri Jan 24 09:57:54 UTC 2025: ## Mumbai’s Star Batsmen Fail to Fire in Ranji Trophy Clash Against Jammu and Kashmir
**Mumbai, India** – Several Mumbai star batsmen, including Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shreyas Iyer, and Shivam Dube, underperformed in their Ranji Trophy match against Jammu and Kashmir. The Mumbai openers, Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal, failed in both innings, while middle-order batsman Shreyas Iyer also disappointed.
Iyer, a member of India’s ODI squad for the upcoming series against England, managed only 28 runs across both innings. He scored 11 in the first innings and 17 in the second, failing to capitalize on his strong performances in the Ranji Trophy’s first leg and the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
All-rounder Shivam Dube, currently out of the Indian team, failed to score in either innings, dismissed for a duck in both. Captain Ajinkya Rahane also struggled, contributing 12 and 16 runs in the respective innings.
Rohit Sharma, despite a 28-run second innings, had a relatively poor match overall, scoring only 31 runs across both innings. His struggles highlight the impressive performance of Jammu and Kashmir’s pace attack. Jaiswal also underwhelmed, scoring 4 and 26 runs in the first and second innings, respectively.
The disappointing performances raise concerns for Mumbai, especially considering the upcoming challenges in the tournament. The team’s star batsmen will need to regain their form quickly. The last paragraph about Donald Trump and Indian students has been omitted as it is irrelevant to this sporting event.
