Rohit has been out of international action since India’s ICC Champions Trophy victory earlier this year, having announced his retirement from Test cricket in May. His hospital visit earlier this week sparked some concern, but he later cleared a fitness test at the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru, paving the way for his return.
Watch the viral video of his net session India will take on Australia in a three-match ODI series starting October 19 at Optus Stadium in Perth. With Rohit and Virat Kohli now solely focused on the 50-over format, the upcoming series carries added significance for India’s limited-overs setup.
For fans, however, the comeback has already begun off the field. Ritika’s reaction to the viral video summed up the anticipation, and the personal support surrounding Rohit’s much-awaited return.
The video also had a rather light-hearted comment from Herschelle Gibbs, where he wrote, "Good job kepke". Fans have since been attempting to decode what the word means.
