MCA Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy: The sixth round of the Ranji Trophy had increased in anticipation due to Indian Test team stars like captain Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill joining their respective state teams.

The star quartet playing in the Ranji Trophy came after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) made it compulsory for international players to participate in domestic cricket as part of its new policy.

But on day one of the competition’s second leg, all four of them were dismissed for single-digit scores. At the MCA Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy ground in Bandra-Kurla Complex, Mumbai, Rohit’s much-anticipated return to the Ranji Trophy after ten years was short-lived, lasting just 19 balls as he was dismissed for just three runs by J&K fast-bowler Umar Nazir.
