NEW DELHI: India captain Rohit Sharma, after a disappointing first-innings score of just 3, rediscovered his aggressive intent in the second innings of Mumbai's Ranji Trophy clash against Jammu and Kashmir at the BKC Ground.
However, his entertaining knock was cut short by J&K pacer Yudhvir Singh Charak.
The 37-year-old batter, who faced 19 balls for his three runs in the first innings, scored a brisk 28 off 35 balls in the second.

Rohit’s innings came to an end in the 14th over when he attempted a pull shot off Yudhvir but failed to make proper contact. The ball lobbed up, and Abid Mushtaq completed the catch.
Jaiswal, who had scored only 4 in the first innings, was dismissed for 26 off 51 balls. The left-hander was caught in the gully by Yawer Hassan off Yudhvir’s bowling.
Rohit’s decision to play in the Ranji Trophy stemmed from a need to regain form after a lean patch in India’s last three Test series against Bangladesh, New Zealand, and Australia.

He managed just 91 runs in three Tests against New Zealand and 31 runs in three matches of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.
