Fri Jan 24 09:57:59 UTC 2025: ## Rohit Sharma’s Inconsistent Form Continues Despite Ranji Trophy Sixes
**Mumbai, India** – Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma’s struggles with form continued in the Ranji Trophy, despite a brief display of power hitting. Playing for Mumbai against Jammu and Kashmir, Sharma, in his second innings, smashed three sixes, temporarily exciting fans at the BKC ground. However, his innings ended at 28, once again falling victim to a poor shot.
Sharma, playing in the Ranji Trophy for the first time in years, scored only 3 runs in the first innings. While his second innings saw a more aggressive approach, culminating in three sixes and 21 runs from 11 balls, he subsequently slowed down, adding only one run in the next 20 balls. His dismissal, caught at mid-wicket, came off a lofted shot – a repeat of the kind of shot that almost cost him his wicket earlier in the innings.
Mumbai is currently facing a challenging situation in the match. After being bowled out for 120 in their first innings, they are struggling in their second, having lost five wickets for 86 runs by lunch on day two. Other key batters like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ajinkya Rahane, Shreyas Iyer, and Shivam Dube also failed to make significant contributions. Jammu and Kashmir holds a crucial 86-run lead. Mumbai’s chances of victory appear slim. Sharma’s inconsistent performance raises concerns about his form ahead of upcoming international matches.
