Fans Gather At The MCA To Watch Rohit Sharma Train

Ex-India skipper Rohit Sharma, who has already retired from the Test and the T20I format, continues to play ODIs for India. There are doubts about Rohit Sharma's participation in the 2027 edition of the ODI World Cup, but he continues to remain tight-lipped on his future plans. Rohit interestingly lost a lot of weight and has done well as the Indian opener recently. He was also adjudged the player of the India vs Australia ODI series where he amassed over 200 runs across three ODIs that he played.

Rohit also scored over 140 runs in the three-match India vs South Africa ODI series. The former skipper will be next seen in action in the India vs New Zealand series. Prior to the series, Rohit Sharma is training at the MCA Ground to fine-tune his white-ball batting skills. A video is now going viral on social media which shows the fans flocking the MCA ground just to catch a glimpse of Rohit training.
