Jammu and Kashmir seamer Rohit Sharma has claimed four wickets against Madhya Pradesh in its Ranji Trophy 2026-27 season-opener in Srinagar.
The 32-year-old right-arm seamer dismissed Harsh Gawli, Himanshu Mantri, and debutants Chanchal Rathod and Atharva Mahajan as defending champion J&K dominated the opening two session of the day.
