by IPL Web Desk

Rohit SharmaFormer Indian captain Rohit Sharma is working hard to get ready for the upcoming Australia tour. On Friday, October 10, he practiced at Shivaji Park in Mumbai. During his batting session, Rohit hit the ball all over the park, but one strong shot caused a small accident. The Indian opener, who was recently picked for the Australia ODI squad, has also stepped down as captain, with Shubman Gill now leading the team. In an unlucky moment during practice, Rohit hit a six that flew out of the park and hit his Lamborghini.

Videos of Rohit’s training session quickly spread online and went viral. He was seen playing different kinds of shots, including smooth cover drives and sweep shots, while hundreds of fans cheered him on. The practice went on for two hours before he headed home, according to several media reports.

Former India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar was there to help Rohit during the practice. Mumbai batter Angkrish Raghuvanshu and a few other local players also joined. Rohit’s wife, Ritika, came to watch and he spent some time meeting fans at Shivaji Park, one of Mumbai’s most famous grounds.

Even after stepping down as ODI captain, Rohit will still be an important part of the team. He is expected to support Shubman Gill and keep his aggressive style at the top of the batting order. Rohit has also been working hard on his fitness and has lost a lot of weight to stay in shape.

Rohit, along with Virat Kohli is expected to play in a few domestic Vijay Hazare Trophy matches in December and January to stay ready for the New Zealand ODI series. His hard work, disciplined training and focus on fitness show that even after stepping down as captain, he is fully committed to staying competitive and helping the Indian team.
