Ranji Trophy has started. The second leg of the tournament which started on 23rd January is a little more exciting because many of the players who are the star faces of Team India are playing in it. If we talk about the Mumbai team alone, in the match against Jammu and Kashmir, 7 such players are included in its playing eleven who have become a part of Team India's dressing room. Looking at the batting line-up of the Mumbai team, you may also remember the batting line-up of Team India.

This historical sight was seen for the first time.

After winning the toss against Jammu and Kashmir, Mumbai decided to bat first. Mumbai's batting was started by Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Those are the two players who also open for Team India in Test cricket. This was a historic event in the Ranji Trophy, because before this Rohit and Yashasvi had never opened together in domestic cricket.

7 players from Team India in Mumbai's playing XI

Mumbai's playing XI against Jammu and Kashmir includes 7 players who have been part of Team India's dressing room. Apart from Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal, the names of team captain Ajinkya Rahane, Shreyas Iyer, Shardul Thakur, Shivam Dubey and Tanush Kotian are included. Tanush may not have played a single match among these 7 players, but he has definitely reached the dressing room. Apart from these, the remaining 6 players have represented India in some format or the other.

Rohit-Yashasvi's opening pair failed

Rohit and Yashasvi opened the innings but the partnership did not last long. There was a partnership of only 6 runs between the two. This partnership broke as soon as Yashasvi Jaiswal was out. Yashasvi faced 8 balls and scored 4 runs. Talking about Rohit, even though he played more balls than Yashasvi, he scored fewer runs than him. Rohit faced 19 balls and scored 3 runs. If we look at it this way, neither Rohit nor Yashasvi performed well while opening the innings for Mumbai.
