India batter Rohit Sharma turned up for training at the MCA-BKC ground on Saturday in preparation for the upcoming ODI series against South Africa.
Rohit had quick chats with some of the Mumbai cricketers, who were bowling in the nets, and also exchanged pleasantries with his old friends Dhawal Kulkarni and Atul Ranade.
As the shutterbugs and curious fans clicked pictures, Rohit spent about an hour in sprints and some light training. However, he did not bat in the nets.
Rohit recently featured in the ODI series against Australia and scored a century in the final game.
Having retired from Tests and T20Is, Rohit now only features in ODIs, and as he hopes to continue till the 2027 ODI World Cup, it needs to be seen whether Rohit makes himself available for Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy next month. Rohit’s last appearance for Mumbai was in a Ranji Trophy fixture against Jammu and Kashmir last year. Earlier this year, he guided India to the Champions Trophy title.
India will face South Africa in a three-match series, with the first clash set to take place on November 30 at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi.
