  • Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar advised Rohit Sharma to play in the Ranji Trophy (India's red-ball domestic competition) as the batter struggles with the bat. Rohit opted not to play in the Sydney Test after a poor run of form saw him make way for Shubman Gill in the Playing XI.

Sunil Gavaskar has advised Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma to participate in the Ranji Trophy to regain his form, following a lackluster performance in the ongoing Test series against England. Gavaskar emphasized the importance of playing first-class cricket to prepare for Test matches, especially after Rohit's scores of 24, 39, 14, and 1 in the first two Tests. He suggested that playing in the Ranji Trophy would help Rohit adapt to the red ball and the longer format of the game, which is crucial for Test cricket. This advice comes in the context of India's struggle in the series, where they are currently trailing 1-2, with the fourth Test set to begin on February 23, 2024, in Ranchi.
