Rohit Sharma is leaving no stone unturned to bounce back from India’s humiliating T20 WC exit. After returning from Australia, the Indian captain hit the ground running and was batting in the nets in Mumbai. While the 2023 WC is just 11 months away, Rohit has only played 6 ODIs in the last 12 months and will be keen to get back to his best.
The 35-year-old shared glimpses of his session as he tries to come to grips with the change in format. He stepped out of his crease on occasion, suggesting his ploy to counter spinners. In Bangladesh, spin will play a crucial factor and Rohit is setting himself up for the challenge.
