Top Indian Cricketers Return to Ranji Trophy

The Ranji Trophy is experiencing a surge in interest as several prominent Indian cricketers, including Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Rishabh Pant, return to domestic play in search of form after disappointing performances in recent Test series. Following a 3-0 home defeat to New Zealand and a subsequent 3-1 loss in Australia, India's hopes for a third consecutive World Test Championship final were dashed. Rohit Sharma was dropped for the final Test in Australia and has ruled out retirement despite struggling with just one fifty in his last 15 innings. He is expected to participate in at least one of Mumbai's remaining matches in the Ranji Trophy, while Yashasvi Jaiswal, who excelled in the Australia series, has also made himself available. Additionally, Pant is set to play for Delhi after a long absence from the tournament, and Virat Kohli’s participation remains uncertain as he seeks to improve on his recent performance. The Indian cricket board has encouraged players to return to domestic cricket to regain their form ahead of upcoming challenges.
