On Thursday, January 23, Ranji Trophy 2024-25 edition resumed after a short hiatus and the ongoing round also marked the return of star India cricketers like Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Rishabh Pant. However, it has not turned out to be a great day for the Indian capped stars as they failed to leave a mark on their domestic cricket return.

Talking about Indian captain Rohit Sharma, the hitman returned to the pavilion for a low score of 3 runs. Meanwhile, Gill and Jaiswal too registered single digit scores. Shedding light on Rishabh, who returned to play Ranji Trophy for Delhi after 7 years. Meanwhile, Pant too had a horror show with the bat as he scored just 1 runs. 

Featuring against Saurashtra, Pant failed to make a mark and fell prey to DA Jadeja. The fans would now hope for Pant to score runs in the second innings as it has become crucial for Indian cricketers to return to form because they have England away tour later this year.

The reason behind Indian stars returning to Ranji Trophy is their poor run in the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The Rohit Sharma-led side suffered a 3-1 defeat and it also saw them crash out of the WTC finals race. 

It led to Gambhir advising the stars to return to domestic cricket to get their basics right. Thus, the likes of Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Rishabh Pant.
