Rohit Sharma takes 5-wicket haul on Ranji Trophy comeback, MP bowled out for 196

Returning to red-ball action after a hiatus of nearly twenty-four months, pace bowler Rohit Sharma claimed five wickets for thirty-six runs across twenty-one and two-thirds overs to restrict Madhya Pradesh to a total of 196 on the opening day of the Ranji Trophy. Defending titleholders Jammu and Kashmir capitalized on this effort at the Sher-i-Kashmir Stadium, where Sunil Kumar contributed four dismissals and Auqib Nabi added one, before closing the day at 3 for 1.

Madhya Pradesh captain Shubham Sharma provided the primary resistance with a top score of 79 runs.
