Rohit Sharma, one of the most accomplished cricketers of India, is admired for his calm leadership, elegant stroke play and ability to perform under pressure. Over the years, he has led India to numerous victories and earned reputation as one of the game’s most dependable openers. Known for his discipline and passion for the sport, Rohit continues to inspire fans with his dedication, even as he enters a new phase in his career.
On Friday, Rohit Sharma trained for nearly two hours at Mumbai’s iconic Shivaji Park, fine-tuning his form ahead of India’s upcoming three-match ODI series against Australia. Under the guidance of his former Mumbai teammate and mentor Abhishek Nayar, the veteran batter focused both on pace and spin during an intense session. Spectators gathered in large numbers to witness the former India captain in action, cheering every shot that came off his bat.
Rohit Sharma looked in prime touch as he executed his trademark pull and cut shots with precision. He also worked on his inside-out drives, sweeps and slog sweeps, displaying the same aggression and timing that have defined his career. Social media buzzed with videos from the session, with one fan humorously claiming that a powerful shot of Rohit’s struck his own Lamborghini parked nearby.
Here are few videos:

The practice took place at the All Heart Cricket Academy, where young Mumbai cricketers including Angkrish Raghuvanshi were also training. Rohit Sharma batted through two nets sessions, focusing on regaining rhythm before his much-awaited return to international cricket.
The 38 years old cricketer last represented India in the Champions Trophy final against New Zealand in February, where he led the team to another ICC triumph following their T20 World Cup victory in 2024. Recently replaced by Shubman Gill as the ODI captain, Rohit Sharma remains a key part of India’s plans and will look to make a strong statement in the Australia series starting October 19 in Perth.
Alongside longtime teammate Virat Kohli and vice-captain Shreyas Iyer, Rohit will join the Indian squad before their departure to Australia on October 15.
Off the field, Rohit’s love for luxury cars continues to make headlines. He was recently seen driving his new Tesla Model Y, adding to his impressive collection that includes elite models from Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi and Range Rover.
As he prepares for his next big challenge, Rohit Sharma’s dedication at Shivaji Park serves as a reminder of why he remains one of Indian cricket’s most admired figures, a player whose passion for the game never fades.
