After a long 9 years and 2 months, India’s Test and ODI captain Rohit Sharma is going back to the roots where it all started. Sharma, who made his debut in the Ranji Trophy for Mumbai way back in the 2006–07 season, has earned his place in the Indian team with consistent performances and has achieved big success in all forms of the game. However, in recent times, his form has not ended well, particularly in Test cricket. Now, he is all set to showcase his batting by playing in domestic cricket. Sharma will play against Jammu & Kashmir at the MCA Cricket Ground, but the question is, will the Indian captain lead the Mumbai team as well in this upcoming Ranji Trophy clash?
