Rohit Sharma’s Incredible Comeback: Fit and Ready for India’s Australia ODI Challenge

Indian cricket sensation Rohit Sharma was recently seen at Mumbai airport, en route to Delhi to link up with his ODI teammates. The team is preparing for their upcoming tour of Australia, and Sharma’s presence has generated considerable excitement. Recent sightings confirm that the 38-year-old cricketer appears exceptionally fit, showcasing a remarkable physical transformation. This impressive change comes ahead of his highly anticipated return to international play in the three-match ODI series against Australia, scheduled for October 2025. This tour will be particularly significant as it marks Rohit’s first international appearance since India’s triumphant Champions Trophy 2025 victory in March, where his powerful 76 runs off 83 balls in the final earned him the Player of the Match award. Furthermore, it will be his debut in the iconic blue jersey since Shubman Gill assumed the role of ODI captain. Sharma has been diligently preparing for the Australia tour, including an intense two-hour training session at Mumbai’s Shivaji Park with his former teammate Abhishek Nayar. Social media was abuzz with images of fans flocking to witness the former India captain’s practice session. During these rigorous sessions, Rohit honed his signature pull and cut shots, demonstrating impeccable timing against fast bowling. He also incorporated aggressive inside-out drives and focused extensively on sweep and slog-sweep shots to counter spin bowling effectively. While unverified reports circulated on social media about Rohit accidentally damaging his Lamborghini during practice, his dedication to the game is undeniable. His training at the All Heart Cricket Academy involved Mumbai cricketer Angkrish Raghuvanshi and several other local players, with Rohit engaging in two comprehensive batting nets sessions. At 38, Rohit’s last international outing was in the Champions Trophy final against New Zealand in February, where his leadership helped secure India’s second consecutive ICC title, following their T20 World Cup win in the Americas in 2024. Now, with Shubman Gill at the helm of the ODI team, Rohit is fully geared up for the three-match series against Australia, kicking off on October 19 in Perth.
