Ranji calling: India stars in game

New Indian Express  

CHENNAI: When Rohit Sharma takes the field for Mumbai on Thursday during the penultimate group stage Ranji Trophy clash against Jammu & Kashmir at the Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy, Mumbai, he would have achieved an unique feat. Still India's captain in the longest format, Rohit will be the first national skipper to play a Ranji game since Anil Kumble in late 2007. Since Kumble, there have been three full-time Test captains - MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli and Rohit - and several stand-in ones but it has taken a little over 17 years for another captain to play Ranji. Rohit will not be the only star India player in action, Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, and Yashasvi Jaiswal also will play for their respective teams.
