Rohit Sharma, enduring a lean phase in his career, will play his first Ranji Trophy match in nearly a decade and has received a confidence boost from Mumbai captain Ajinkya Rahane. Rahane believes Rohit's relaxed demeanor and solid preparation will help him significantly,

Form has deserted the 37-year-old Rohit in the past few months with Test losses to New Zealand (at home) and Australia (away) weighing heavily on him currently.

A star studded Mumbai line-up is all set to light up the league game of Ranji Trophy as Indian captain Rohit Sharma and opener Yashasvi Jaiswal will walk out to play against Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) at the MCA-BKC ground starting from Thursday.

Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal have been named in Mumbai's squad for the sixth round of the Ranji trophy clash against Jammu and Kashmir. Rohit last played in the domestic red-ball tournament in 2015 when he featured for Mumbai in a clash against Uttar Pradesh.

Indian captain Rohit Sharma will be looking to get his touch back when he plays for Mumbai for the first time in almost a decade in the Ranji Trophy when they face Jammu & Kashmir from January 23 at the MCA-BKC Ground. Regular skipper Ajinkya Rahane will lead the Mumbai side, according to an announcement from the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA).

India captain Rohit Sharma will be playing his first Ranji Trophy match for Mumbai in a decade against Jammu and Kashmir at the Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy in BKC.

Rohit scored only 31 runs in five innings in a disastrous tour of Australia, seeing him drop himself for the fifth Test in Sydney. India lost the series 3-1, and Rohit's future in the longest format of the game is up in the air.

The team will continue to be led by the seasoned Ajinkya Rahane, the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) said while announcing the squad on Monday.

Rohit Sharma will be playing Ranji Trophy after a gap of nearly 10 years and it will be the first time that an Indian captain will play in the tournament in 17 years after he was selected for Mumbai's game vs Jammu & Kashmir.
