Indian captain Rohit Sharma has been going through a poor form recently, and the team’s performance under his leadership has also been disappointing. He was praised after winning the T20 World Cup in June, but within a few months the situation has completely changed. Rohit, who has retired from T20 Internationals, is now facing retirement pressure from Test cricket as well. He has started preparing for the upcoming ODI series against England and the Champions Trophy and is working on his fitness.
Questions have been raised about Rohit’s fitness, so he has started working hard to improve it. In view of the England tour and the Champions Trophy, Rohit wants to keep himself fit. Meanwhile, a video of him running in Mumbai’s BKC Complex has gone viral on social media. Former opener Navjot Singh Sidhu had also advised Rohit to focus on fitness.
Rohit trained with the Mumbai team on Tuesday ahead of the second leg of the Ranji Trophy starting January 23, although it is unclear whether he will play in the upcoming match or not. The 37-year-old Rohit struggled with poor form on the Australia tour, scoring only 31 runs and decided to rest himself from the final Test in Sydney.
He took part in a few hour-long practice session at the Wankhede Stadium, where he batted with his teammate Ajinkya Rahane. Rohit last played for Mumbai in 2015 against Uttar Pradesh.
Rohit’s bat has been silent for a long time, and he is returning to the pavilion after playing bad shots. Due to his poor form against Australia, he decided to take rest from the Sydney Test. It was claimed in many reports that Rohit Sharma may retire from Test cricket after the Australia tour, but he has told BCCI that he wants to continue playing as captain.
