Even if he does not claim it, Rohit would be under immense pressure. He would have to bring all his experience of having played in Australia to good use this time. 

Over the past week, Rohit has been spotted practicing at the iconic Shivaji Park grounds in Mumbai in front of fans just to get into the groove ahead of the tour. 

Since he retired from Tests under suspicious circumstances, he has expressed his desire to feature in the 2027 ODI World Cup, now that happens or not remains to be seen. He was in charge of the side in 2023 when they reached the final in the home World Cup. That tournament, India went undefeated to the summit clash. Eventually, they lost against Australia in Ahmedabad. Rohit wants to correct that and hence he hopes to feature in the next ODI WC. He has shown good intent by getting fitter. He looked to have gotten leaner during the recent CEAT Cricket Awards.

Some claim that the tour of Australia would be Rohit's farewell series. 

Not much can be confirmed on that. One reckons if he gets among the runs, such talks will die down.
