Rohit Sharma Embraces Fan Who Breached Security During Ranji Trophy Match

Indian captain Rohit Sharma's participation in the Ranji Trophy match against Jammu & Kashmir earlier this week attracted a large crowd to the BKC ground in Mumbai. This marked his first appearance in the domestic first-class tournament since 2015. Although Rohit—and Mumbai—had an underwhelming performance in the match, the excitement surrounding the Indian cricket star remained undiminished.
On Day 3 of the match, a fan breached security in an attempt to meet Rohit. A video showed Rohit placing his hand on the fan's shoulder before security escorted the individual off the field.
Watch the video here:
Rohit Sharma, who has been struggling with his batting form in Test cricket, couldn’t make an impact on his Ranji return. He scored just 3 runs off 19 balls in the first innings, and although he got off to a decent start in the second, he was dismissed for 28.
Several Team India stars featured for Mumbai in the match, including Yashasvi Jaiswal, who reunited with Rohit as the opening pair—just like in Tests. However, Jaiswal was also dismissed cheaply in both innings, scoring 4 and 26.
Ajinkya Rahane, the Mumbai captain, and Shreyas Iyer also failed to make significant contributions, leading to Mumbai's five-wicket defeat. Interestingly, this marked Mumbai’s second consecutive loss to Jammu & Kashmir at home, with the last defeat coming in 2014.
Jammu & Kashmir now lead Group A with 29 points from six matches and is set to face Baroda in their final match, where they need just one point to secure the top spot.
Baroda, with 27 points from five matches, is currently playing against Maharashtra. If Baroda takes a first-innings lead against J&K in their last game, Mumbai, with 22 points from six matches, will be eliminated from the group league phase, even if they win with bonus points against Meghalaya.
