Rohit Sharma, who successfully led India to a triumphant win at the 2024 T20 World Cup in June, was recently spotted in a training session with India’s assistant coach Abhishek Nayar. A video that has been doing the rounds on social media shows Rohit performing intense cardio workouts in a park, with Nayar closely monitoring his routine. Nayar, who was appointed as part of the support staff of the Indian cricket team last month, took up his role following the appointment of Gautam Gambhir as India’s head coach.
Rohit had a mixed performance in the IPL 2024 while playing for the Mumbai Indians. However, he bounced back strongly during the T20 World Cup, where he emerged as India’s leading run-scorer. His exceptional form with the bat played a pivotal role in helping India secure the T20 World Cup title, ending an 11-year wait for an ICC trophy. Following the T20 World Cup success, Rohit featured in a three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka held in Colombo earlier this month. Showing his consistent performance, he was the leading run-scorer in all three matches. Despite his impressive efforts, India struggled in the series, losing all three ODIs to Sri Lanka. This marked a significant upset as it was the first time in 27 years that India lost a bilateral ODI series to Sri Lanka.
The video of Rohit training with Nayar has sparked speculation among fans, with some suggesting that the park session could be part of a promotional shoot. However, it also underlines Rohit’s commitment to staying in peak physical condition ahead of India’s upcoming cricket matches.

Rohit Sharma last played a Test match for India in March 2024 against England, where he scored a memorable century in the first innings. His experience and skills will be vital to India’s ambitions in red-ball cricket, especially with crucial series looming ahead. His contributions will be key not only in securing series wins but also in helping India qualify for their third consecutive World Test Championship (WTC) final.
Following the series against Najmul Hossain Shanto-led Bangladesh, India will host a three-match Test series against New Zealand at home. This will be followed by a challenging five-match Test series against Australia as part of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which will be held in Australia in November. Rohit’s performance in these matches will be pivotal in shaping the future of Indian Test cricket.
