Ranji Trophy 2024-25: India's Test and ODI skipper Rohit Sharma is having a horrifying time with his bat as far as Test cricket is concerned. The Indian Test skipper had a tumultuous Border-Gavaskar Trophy series  which forced cricket fans and experts to question his place in the Indian Test team as a leader and as an opening batsman. India won only one Test match in the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, but that happened under Jasprit Bumrah's captaincy.

Rohit did bat in the middle-order in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series but it did not help his cause. The Indian skipper also decided to sit out in the Sydney Test, the final match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, but he denied rumours of retirement. India's dismal performance against New Zealand in the home series and later in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy forced the BCCI to push the international players to play Ranji, but  it still isn't helping Sharma's cause.
