NEW DELHI: India captain Rohit Sharma is going through a horrifying run with the bat. Poor Test returns in the
Border-Gavaskar Trophy
in Australia have definitely added to the pressure on the Indian captain.
But with the
ODI series against England
set to begin from February 6 in Nagpur, the ‘Hitman’ is looking to bounce back in his most favoured format – as he is the only cricketer in the world to hit three double hundreds in ODI cricket.
The three-ODI series against England is scheduled to end on February 12 and it will be followed by the Champions Trophy.
Ahead of the grueling season,
Rohit
shared a video on Instagram of
batting in the nets
.
The video has Rohit taking a middle stump guard and taking on the pacers with aplomb, going for his shots including his favourite pull shot.
Rohit, who retired from T20Is after leading India to the
T20 World Cup
title in the West Indies in June last year, last played an ODI in August 2024 against Sri Lanka.
Poor form notwithstanding, Rohit has been a colossus for India in white-ball cricket with 10866 runs from 265 matches, with 31 hundreds and 57 fifties.
