In a recent video, Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya were seen collaborating intensely to prepare for India’s upcoming white-ball series against England and the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. After a disappointing Border-Gavaskar Trophy where Rohit struggled, managing just 31 runs in three Tests, he has focused on regaining form.
Joining Mumbai Indians’ nets, Rohit trained alongside Pandya, emphasizing refining his techniques under floodlights at Reliance Corporate Park in Navi Mumbai. This preparation underscores his commitment to bounce back ahead of the crucial tournaments. Meanwhile, Pandya, consistent in domestic cricket including the Syed Mushtaq Ali and ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy, gears up for the forthcoming T20I series against England.
The Indian selectors are set to announce the Champions Trophy squad soon, and they are awaiting updates on players’ fitness like Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav. Amid speculations about Rohit’s involvement in Pakistan for the captains’ meeting ahead of the Champions Trophy, the BCCI clarified no such proposal had been discussed, affirming India’s logistical considerations amidst bilateral tensions.
