Team India ODI and Test captain Rohit Sharma was visibly shocked when a fan breached security and entered the stadium. The incident took place during the 2024-25 Ranji Trophy match between Mumbai and Jammu and Kashmir at the Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy in BKC in Mumbai on Saturday, January 25.
Rohit endured a poor Test series in Australia, managing just 31 runs in five innings. He then made himself available for the ongoing Ranji Trophy match against Jammu & Kashmir. However, his struggles continued as the right-handed batsman was dismissed for just 3 in the first innings and 28 in the second.
