Rohit Sharma shifts to baseball bat to gear up for IND vs AUS Boxing Day Test in intense training drill

India cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma was involved in an intense training drill to hone his batting skills ahead of IND vs AUS Boxing Day Test

India cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma was spotted wielding a baseball bat during a training session ahead of IND vs AUS Boxing Day Test on Sunday. The top-order batter has been in poor form, managing to score just 19 runs in three innings so far. The series is at stake in Melbourne and so are India’s hopes of keeping the WTC final dreams alive. Rohit will have to start firing all cylinders in order for India to take a lead in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

The Indian skipper has moved to batting at number six in the ongoing series, returning to a role that he handled six years before.
