As India's ODI captain prepares to undergo a fitness test in Bengaluru, concerns around his hamstring injuries have clouded his future in the format.
For the past few months, Rohit Sharma has been a marquee name in the headlines, and not only for his exceptional batting performances or his record-breaking stint as India's T20I captain, but also for his extended absences from the team due to a myriad of injuries. The latest of these injuries came in November 2022, when he fractured his left thumb during India's tour of Bangladesh. He underwent surgery in Leeds, UK, and was subsequently ruled out of the ODI series in South Africa.
Now, as he gearing up to lead India's ODI squad in the upcoming 2023 World Cup, Rohit Sharma needs to prove that he is fit enough to withstand the demands of international cricket, specifically the 50-over format. According to recent reports, the 34-year-old opener will be attending the BCCI's Center of Excellence in Bengaluru over the next two to three days during which he will undergo a series of fitness tests, including the bronco test.
While the outcome of these tests will determine Rohit's immediate participation in India's ODI squad, his lengthy history of injuries has many fans and stakeholders concerned about his ability to withstand the physical demands of international cricket, especially with the World Cup just around the corner.
In today's news, we explore Rohit Sharma's ongoing battle with injuries and what the future holds for the Indian ODI captain.
