The opening day of the Ranji Trophy 2025 was highly anticipated by cricket fans, as several Indian stars returned to domestic cricket following a disappointing India vs. Australia 2024-25 series. National team players Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, and Yashasvi Jaiswal were expected to make a strong impact, but they struggled to deliver and failed to change the narrative with underwhelming performances in the opening game.
Fans trolled Indian national team players
Fans were left disappointed with the performance of India’s stalwarts, expecting the batters to showcase their class in the domestic tournament. However, local bowlers had the upper hand, dismissing them cheaply. Rohit Sharma scored 3, Rishabh Pant 1, Yashasvi Jaiswal 4, Shubman Gill 4, and Shreyas Iyer 11. These were the underwhelming scores of India’s star players, who are part of the squad for the Champions Trophy 2025.
