Rohit Sharma 's fitness surprised everyone.
Rohit Sharma is looking incredibly fit these days. There was a time when Rohit Sharma didn't look physically fit, despite the work he was putting in for the team. Now, he's excelling in both aspects. After losing nearly 10 kilos ahead of his much-anticipated return to action in Australia, Rohit has continued his fitness journey and seems hungrier than ever to extend his career until the 2027 ODI World Cup.
Rohit Sharma said, 'I will become fat again' and refused to eat cake.
Following India's resounding victory in the third ODI against South Africa in Visakhapatnam, the team celebrated by cutting a cake at the hotel. Virat Kohli was asked to cut the cake, but he gave the opportunity to Yashasvi Jaiswal , who scored his maiden century to finish the run-chase.
Jaiswal happily cut the cake and celebrated with Kohli, who ate a very small piece. He then offered the cake to Rohit Sharma, who responded in a playful manner. Instead of taking a bite, Rohit said, "No you eat it, I'll get fat again if I eat the cake."
Rohit is in excellent form
On the field, Rohit has been brilliant since his return to India's blue jersey. Playing competitive cricket after more than eight months, Rohit scored 202 runs at an average of 101 in Australia, winning the Player of the Series award. Then, in the home series against South Africa, Rohit scored two more half-centuries. During this period, Rohit also entered the 20,000-run club for India in Visakhapatnam.
