Cricket fans were excited to see some of India’s biggest star- Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubham Gill, and Rishabh Pant– return to domestic cricket in the Ranji trophy. However, their performance did not match expectation, raising concerns ahead of the Champion trophy 2025.

A Tough Outing for India’s Top Batsmen
The Ranji Trophy is often a testing ground for players before major international tournaments, and this time was no different. Fans were eager to see how Indian’s star player would perform after a long break from domestic cricket. But the reality was far from ideal:
- Rohit Sharma – Out for just 3 runs, struggling to get going.
- Yashasvi Jaiswal – Managed only 4 runs, failing to convert his start.
- Shubham Gill – Also fell cheaply for 4 runs, unable to make an impact.
Meanwhile, all eyes were on Rishabh Pant, who was making his much – awaited comeback after injury. However, he too failed to make a mark.
What Does This Mean for Team India?

With the Champion Trophy 2025 coming up, these performance raise concerns. Rohit Sharma, as the captain, need to find his form quickly. Jaiswal and Gill, Two young batting sensations, must step up. And Pant return is crucial, but he may need more time to settle in.
Fans Still Hopeful
Despite this poor start, fans know that form is temporary, but class is permanent. These player have proven themselves on the international stage, and a few low scores in domestic cricket won’t define them.
With more Ranji Trophy matches ahead, these stars have a chance to get into rhythm before the Champions Trophy.
