On Monday, January 20, Mumbai announced their squad for the upcoming Ranji Trophy 2024-25 elite round. The squad is making buzz on the internet as it marks the return of India skipper Rohit Sharma, who is eyeing to play domestic cricket to regain his lost mojo.

Notably, Mumbai will take on Jammu & Kashmir on January 23 in the next Ranji Trophy round at the BKC stadium in Mumbai. Further, the squad also features the likes of Shivam Dube, Shreyas Iyer and Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Another thing worth noting is that Rohit will not be leading the side, but he will play under Ajinkya Rahane's leadership for the upcoming round. Let's take a look at Mumbai's squad for the upcoming Ranji Trophy 2025 round.

Mumbai's Performance In Ranji Trophy 2024-25

Talking about Mumbai, they have had a great start to the Ranji Trophy 2024-25. The Ajinkya Rahane-led side are placed 3rd on the table with three wins and a defeat. It is worth noting that India suffered an embarrassing defeat against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. 

It was a horror show for Rohit with the bat and following the series, he had opted to work on his basics, which is why, he will feature for Mumbai on January 23. Not only Rohit, but several other Indian stars were advised to follow the domestic route and play Ranji Trophy.
