Rohit Sharma, who was in the Indian Test team for the Australian tour, started his fitness training on Thursday at the National Cricket Academy (NCA). Rohit is not part of India’s limited overs team for the Australian tour.
The selectors included Rohit Sharma in the revised Test squad after playing in two Indian Premier League (IPL) matches besides the final for Mumbai Indians.
Although Rohit Sharma said that he is fine, but the BCCI felt that he needed more time to recover from the hamstring injury suffered during the IPL, which started a debate about his fitness.
Mumbai’s team won a resounding victory in the final, in which Rohit played a fast-paced inning of 68 runs. Rohit’s fitness has become very important, as regular captain Virat Kohli will not be available after the first Test in Australia.
