India ODI captain Rohit Sharma is preparing for his comeback after taking a break following the IPL 2025 season. Former India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar revealed on Instagram that Rohit has lost 10 kilograms, sharing a picture highlighting the transformation. The post hinted at the intense training Rohit has been undertaking off the field to get in peak shape ahead of the three-match ODI series against Australia in October.
At 38, Rohit has not played since retiring from Test and T20I cricket in June, but his commitment to fitness signals his intent to continue in the ODI format. His recent performance in the Champions Trophy 2025 final, where he top-scored with 76 runs and earned the Player of the Match award, reinforced his importance to the Indian team.
Comeback Plans and ODI Future
Rohit is expected to lead India in the upcoming ODI series against Australia, alongside Shubman Gill. The series could also see the return of Virat Kohli to the Indian ODI squad. Despite speculation over his future, Rohit has confirmed he will continue playing ODIs and aims to remain a key figure for India leading up to the 2027 Cricket World Cup. His current ICC ODI ranking as the second-best batter, just behind Gill, reflects his continued prowess and readiness for the international stage.
