Sat Jan 25 09:17:10 UTC 2025: ## Mumbai Stunned by Jammu & Kashmir in Ranji Trophy Thriller
**Mumbai, India** – Rohit Sharma’s much-anticipated return to the Ranji Trophy ended in disappointment as defending champions Mumbai suffered a shock defeat against Jammu & Kashmir in an Elite Group A match today. Despite a valiant four-wicket haul from Shams Mulani, Mumbai’s hopes were dashed as Jammu & Kashmir chased down a 205-run target.
After reducing Jammu & Kashmir to 159/5, a crucial partnership between Abid Mushtaq and Kanhaiya Wadhavan steered the underdogs to victory. While the exact final score is not included, the match highlights show that the partnership proved decisive in securing an unexpected win.
Rohit Sharma’s comeback, mandated by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)’s new policy requiring participation from even veteran international players, failed to yield the desired result for the Mumbai team. The defeat serves as a significant upset in the tournament.
