Rohit Sharma fitness test latest update: Is Hitman ready for Australia ODI series?

Indian ODI captain Rohit Sharma was present at the new BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru along with a few other Indian cricketers to undergo their fitness test. 

Rohit Sharma is now active in only the ODI format for the national team. While he retired from T20I cricket last year just after winning the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 trophy, he retired from Test cricket this year. Before participating in the IPL 2025, Rohit played his last international cricket match during the Final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, where India won the title under his leadership, and Rohit won the Player of the Match award. 

Rohit Sharma's next assignment for the Men in Blues will be the ODI series against the hosts Australia in mid-October, where they will play a three-match ODI series before a five-match T20I series in the same tour.

Is Rohit Sharma eyeing the ODI World Cup 2027?

According to a source information, the present Indian ODI captain is completely fit. Rohit isn't only looking at the upcoming ODI series in Australia; he is also looking way ahead. It means that he can eye the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2027, which South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia will host in October-November 2027. 

The source said, "Rohit Sharma is in very good shape and looking very fit. And he is not only focused on the Australia series but also on what’s ahead."

Under Rohit Sharma's leadership, Team India narrowly missed lifting the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 trophy at home. While they reached the Final of the tournament by winning all the matches of the tournament, they lost the Final against Australia.

Virat Kohli isn't present in the fitness test 

Meanwhile, another Indian legendary cricketer, Virat Kohli, who is also active in only the ODI format, has no news about his status for the fitness test. However, he recently shared a social media picture to confirm to everyone that he is getting ready to serve his nation once again.
