All eyes on Rohit’s form
The upcoming series against Australia will mark Rohit Sharma’s first international outing since the 2025 Champions Trophy. He last featured in the IPL for the Mumbai Indians, who fell short against Punjab Kings in Qualifier 2 at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Over the past two months, Rohit has been training intensively alongside Abhishek Nayar, his close friend and former assistant coach of India’s senior men’s team.
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli, returning to Delhi, appeared in a hurry and avoided the paparazzi. The former India skipper quickly made his way from the airport to his car, heading home to Gurugram, seemingly focused and ready for the upcoming challenges Down Under.
