Rohit Sharma, who last played for Team against New Zealand, has said that he would have to go for a fitness test before playing for India. The opening batsman had surfaced with an injury during the T20I series in February, and since then, he has been out of action.
The hit-man sustained a calf injury during the last T20I match against New Zealand though India won that match while also winning the five-match series. He was ruled out for the upcoming ODI and Test series. He also made himself unavailable against South Africa ODI series at home and went under the rehabilitation period in National Cricket Academy (NCA).
The Hit-Man was set to lead the Mumbai Indians to fifth IPL title win, but because of the global pandemic, the tournament got postponed indefinitely. Thus, he has been out of action for an extended period.
Rohit Sharma Will Have To Pass Fitness Test:
In the recent conversation, Rohit Sharma informed that he would have gone under fitness test for a week, but then the government announced lockdown. So, he had to delay all his plans, and now when cricket activity resumes, he would have to first pass the test before returning to international cricket.
“Before the lockdown happened, I was almost ready to play. That whole week was going to be my fitness test but that’s when the lockdown happened and I had to push back everything now. Once everything opens up, I have to first go to the centre (NCA) and give my fitness test and once I pass the fitness test I will be allowed to go and resume my duties with the team,” Rohit Sharma said in a chat on Facebook’s LaLiga page.
Last year, Rohit Sharma became the first-ever batsman to score five centuries in the World Cup. He is an integral part of Team India, who has scored over 15,000 international runs for India.
