India’s ODI captain Rohit Sharma has begun preparations for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Australia, marking a return to 50-over cricket after retiring from Tests earlier this year.
Though he retired from Tests, Rohit remains committed to India’s white-ball formats. His fitness and form will be crucial as he aims to lead the team in Australia.
Ahead of the series scheduled for October 19–25, Rohit has shared glimpses of his training, posting pictures of himself running and batting. These shots hint at his readiness and determination for the tour.
There is also growing speculation about his participation in the preparatory India A vs Australia A unofficial ODIs, set for late September in Kanpur. Reports suggest Rohit may skip these warm-up matches unless he feels he needs practice before the main series. He remains fully fit and available for the Australia ODIs.
This Australia series will be Rohit’s first ODI action since leading India to victory in the ICC Champions Trophy earlier this year. His experience and leadership will be key as India faces a strong Australian side on their home turf. Fans and analysts alike are watching closely, as this could shape Rohit’s twilight ODI career and leadership legacy.
