Rohit Sharma’s Delayed Departure for AUS Series
While the Indian cricket team is hard at work in Perth preparing for the upcoming IND vs AUS Test series, captain Rohit Sharma remains in Mumbai, training individually at the Reliance Corporate Park and Mumbai Cricket Association facilities. Due to personal reasons, the Hitman’s travel to Australia has faced delays, and his participation in the first Test remains uncertain.
Focused Preparation Despite Doubts
Reports indicate that Rohit is using every opportunity to hone his skills in Mumbai, awaiting the right moment to join his teammates. According to sources, Rohit is balancing family commitments while keeping his form intact for the intense series, though he may miss the first Test in Perth. “Rohit’s family needs him now, but he’s working hard here in Mumbai to stay ready,” shared a close source.
India’s Camp Begins in Perth, Led by Bumrah
With Rohit absent, Jasprit Bumrah has been appointed to lead the squad, with the team already involved in closed-door training sessions. The Test series, beginning November 22, promises to be a high-stakes contest, and Team India is fully engaged in preparation, hoping to start strong despite their captain’s uncertain timeline.
Mixed Performance in Recent Matches
Rohit faced a challenging run in the IND vs NZ series, where he managed 91 runs across three matches, with a single half-century in his last six innings. Fans are hopeful that his training efforts in Mumbai will translate to strong performances when he eventually joins the team for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
