Though it’s a Ranji Trophy league game between defending champions Mumbai and Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) starting at the Mumbai Cricket Association’s Bandra-Kurla Complex ground today, all eyes will be on India’s Test and ODI captain Rohit Sharma, who will open the batting for the hosts.

In his last red-ball outing, Rohit managed just three and nine in the Melbourne Test against Australia last month. Considering his poor form (31 in three Tests Down Under), he opted out of the series-deciding Sydney Test. Now, he is back in the Mumbai dressing room to find his rhythm and help his home team secure a win in a must-win Elite Group ‘A’ game against J&K.
