Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma is returning to domestic cricket after a long time. However, his return was not as impressive with the bat. Rohit’s performance in the Ranji Trophy match against Jammu and Kashmir from Mumbai was not in accordance with expectations. In the first innings, he scored only 3 off 19 balls, while in the second innings he was dismissed for 28 runs after showing some aggression.
