Attention is focused on Indian cricket icons Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma as the second phase of the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 approaches.

The legendary Yuvraj Singh had a clear-cut response when asked whether Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma should play Ranji Trophy.

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.

Indian cricketer Yashasvi Jaiswal has confirmed his participation in the following Ranji Trophy round by joining Mumbai's training camp. He was spotted during an open nets session at the Bandra Kurla Complex Ground. The development comes ahead of Mumbai's match against Jammu and Kashmir on January 23.

After the reports of uncertainty over Virat Kohli’s participation in the upcoming second round of Ranji Trophy, India skipper Rohit Sharma too has not yet confirmed his availability for the India’s premier domestic tournament.

Rohit Sharma has shown red-ball commitment by deciding to join Mumbai's Ranji Trophy team in the nets. Will Virat Kohli do the same?

Rohit was the first to respond to that summons. He began Tuesday morning padded up and in whites with the Mumbai Ranji team at the Wankhede Stadium. It was hours of toil in the maidans that had helped Rohit polish his talent and rise to prominence.

Rohit Sharma's participation in Mumbai's forthcoming Ranji Trophy match against Jammu and Kashmir at the BKC starting on January 23 is still uncertain.
