Star Indian batter Rohit Sharma was dismissed cheaply after having scored just three runs in the Ranji Trophy match between Mumbai and Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday.
The 37-year-old batter was scalped by Umar Nazir Mir as Paras Dogra held onto the catching opportunity the Indian batter offered up following a leading edge.
Rohit spent 19 deliveries at the crease before being asked to walk back to the hut following his dismissal as his wicket left Mumbai reeling at 12 runs for the loss of 2 wickets before the end of the six overs. Rohit’s return to the domestic fold after a decade did not go to plan.
Rohit opened the batting for Mumbai alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal as the side from Maharashtra opted to bat after winning the coin toss. Jaiswal was the first to be scalped as the young southpaw fell victim to Auqib Nabi after making 4 runs from 8 deliveries. Rohit’s dismissal added to Mumbai’s woes as they lost their openers early in the innings.
Nazir Mir doubled his delight with the removal of Ajinkya Rahane for 12 runs off 17 deliveries before Hardik Tamore fell victim to the J and K pacer. The 31-year-old made took his wicket tally to four with the scalp of Shivam Dube for a duck to render Mumbai shaken at 41 runs for the loss of half their side.
Yudvir Singh got rid of Shams Mulani for a duck before he doubled down on his tally with the dismissal of Shreyas Iyer for just 11 runs off 7 deliveries.
