[WATCH]- Rohit Sharma Smashes Trademark Pull Shot For Six In Ranji Trophy 2024-25

India’s ODI and Test captain, Rohit Sharma, has been in excellent form during Mumbai’s second innings in their ongoing 2024-25 Ranji Trophy match against Jammu & Kashmir. On Day 2 (Friday, January 24) at the Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy in BKC, Mumbai, he unleashed his signature pull shot.

In the fourth over of Mumbai’s second innings, bowled by Umar Nazir Mir, Rohit quickly adjusted to a length delivery and sent it soaring for a massive six to deep square leg. You can watch the video here:

Interestingly, Rohit had been dismissed by the same bowler the previous day while attempting his favorite pull shot. Mumbai’s opening duo, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma, have appeared steady in their second innings. At the time of writing, Mumbai were 53 without loss after 11 overs, with Rohit on 28 and Jaiswal on 24.
