Rohit Sharma Returns to T20 Cricket: Hitman’s Shocking Decision Sticks to Everybody!

The star player of Team India-Rohit Sharma has once again proved he is a hundred percent for Indian cricket. After BCCI’s ultimatum that the senior players will have to play domestic cricket, Rohit has agreed to represent Mumbai in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy knockout stage.

Post ODIs series with South Africa, well after the last match Rohit will go to Indore to Mumbai and help them in the knockout matches. In the opinion of the specialists, this action has given a big advantage not only to Mumbai but to Indian cricket as a whole.

Earlier, Rohit had already given his word to contest in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, and now he has gone one step further by allowing himself to play in T20 domestic tournament too.

• Rohit to Play Syed Mushtaq Ali Knockouts
• Rohit confirms his participation in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
• Will go to Indore directly after the last South Africa ODI.
• Has spoken for sure about playing in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

Rohit’s decision to play in the T20 tournament that is held domestically has astonished the fans who believed that he had already closed the T20 International format with the T20 World Cup.

Mumbai registered total control over the league part of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in Lucknow by winning each and every match and thus taking the top position in Elite Group A with 16 points. This guaranteed them a place in the knockout stage to be held from December 12-18 at Indore.

Rohit currently involved with the South Africa ODI series will make his way to Indore right after the series decider in Visakhapatnam on December 6, according to The Times of India.

MCA Verifies Rohit’s Persuasion

The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has announced the official statement confirming the presence of Rohit.

A senior officer of MCA said:

“Rohit has shown interest on his part to play in the Syed Mushtaq Ali knockout matches for Mumbai.”

Significantly, Rohit Sharma last played the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy during the 2011-12 season which was nearly 15 years back.

Rohit & Virat Preparing for the 2027 ODI WorlcUp

As per the reports, both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are getting ready thinking of the 2027 ODI World Cup as their ultimate goal.

Being the only players left who play exclusively ODIs—after retirement from Tests and T20Is—the BCCI has decided that they should keep themselves trained in domestic tournaments along the way for match up.

Rohit and Kohli are on the same page of playing in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, however, Rohit’s extra decision to compete in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy is being seen as a good boost for Mumbai cricket and Team India.
