Mumbai vs Uttarakhand: In the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025–26, Mumbai suffered a big blow when the team’s star batsman Rohit Sharma was out on zero on the very first ball. In this match being played against Uttarakhand, Rohit’s return to the pavilion on a golden duck was shocking for everyone. This match is being played at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, where a large number of fans had come to watch Rohit bat.
Rohit Sharma out on golden duck
Rohit, who played a explosive inning of 155 runs against Sikkim in the first round, was once again expected to perform a big innings, but this time the story was completely opposite. Right-arm medium pace bowler Bora trapped Rohit on the last ball of the first over of the innings. Rohit played the ball towards fine leg, where Jagmohan Nagarkoti took an excellent catch. Although Nagarkoti missed the ball first, he completed his catch in the second attempt.
As soon as Rohit was out, the fans present in the stadium looked disappointed. No one liked this setback due to the excitement that was there about Rohit’s return to domestic cricket.
Responsibility on young batsmen
After Rohit’s early dismissal, the responsibility of handling Mumbai’s innings has fallen on the young batsmen. Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Musheer Khan are staying at the crease and trying to take the innings forward. The command of the team is in the hands of Shardul Thakur in this match, while Sarfaraz Khan is yet to come to bat.
This match is considered very important for Mumbai, because the team had come with the intention of making a strong start. Rohit’s early dismissal not only affects the strategy but can also become a challenge for the morale of the team. At the same time, Uttarakhand team has achieved initial success and tried to create pressure in the match.
