Ending speculations over his Ranji Trophy participation, India Test and ODI captain Rohit Sharma confirmed he will take part in the country’s top-flight red-ball competition. Rohit will be part of Mumbai’s playing XI for the game against J&K that starts from January 23.
“I will (play),” Rohit said on Saturday when quizzed over his participation.
Rohit, one of India’s finest batters of modern era, last played a Ranji match in November 2015.
