Not only did Rohit earn his Ranji stripes, but he did so after a stellar journey through the ranks. Having honed his skills at the under-19, 23, and 25 levels for Karnataka, his dedication and skill finally landed him the dream debut.

Who knows, one day he might even don the blue jersey for India!”

Buzz whispers that Kumar might even find himself in the playing XI for the upcoming Ranji matches. Hubballi’s own KSCA Stadium will host the clash against Punjab from January 5th to 8th, offering him a dream debut on home turf. The following encounter against Gujarat, from January 12th to 15th, could further cement his place in the team’s dynamic.
