NEW DELHI: Team India’s ODI captain Rohit Sharma is once again in the spotlight, this time for his fitness test. Recently, a light-hearted video featuring him has gone viral on social media, showing the senior cricketer sharing a laugh with team physiotherapist Amit Dubey. The clip, which quickly grabbed the attention of fans, was filmed at the Mumbai International Airport when Rohit returned from Bengaluru after his fitness assessment.In the video, Rohit can be seen joking with Dubey, saying, “Ajao chhod deta hu tumko (Come on, I’ll drop you off).” The moment, captured in a relaxed setting, highlighted a lighter side of the cricketer, leaving fans delighted. Along with Rohit, pacer Jasprit Bumrah and opener Shubman Gill also underwent their fitness tests in Bengaluru, ensuring that the team’s key players are in top condition ahead of the busy international schedule.Rohit, now 38, last featured in a competitive match for Mumbai Indians during the IPL 2025 clash against Punjab Kings in Ahmedabad, where he managed just eight runs. His most recent international outing came in the Champions Trophy final against New Zealand on March 9 in Dubai, where he played a match-winning knock of 76 off 83 balls, earning the Player of the Match award as India lifted the trophy.The veteran opener has already called time on his Test career, announcing his retirement on May 7, but continues to be a crucial figure in India’s white-ball setup.Looking ahead, Rohit and fellow stalwart Virat Kohli are likely to feature for India A in a three-match One-Day series against Australia A at Green Park, Kanpur, on September 30, October 3, and October 5. The series will serve as perfect preparation for the senior duo before India embark on their three-match ODI tour of Australia, starting October 19 in Perth.
