Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma may not be the poster boy for fitness enthusiasts, but his incredible skill and consistency have earned him a spot among the greatest white-ball cricketers of this generation. The 37-year-old from Mumbai, though not known for having a muscular build or outstanding athletic skills, has still scored over 10,000 runs in ODIs and is the only player to hit three double-centuries in the 50-over format.
Rohit’s success lies in his emphasis on skill over fitness, a mantra that has brought him immense success. However, as he approaches the twilight of his career, extending his international run requires greater attention to his body and fitness levels. Understanding this, the India captain has taken steps to prioritize his health.
Rohit Sharma Works on Fitness with Abhishek Nayar; Training Video Surfaces
Rohit Sharma was recently seen training in a park with India’s assistant coach, Abhishek Nayar, closely monitoring him. The duo was seen working on fitness drills, including Russian twists and planks. Nayar, a former Mumbai cricketer, and Rohit’s long-time associate has been instrumental in guiding the five-time IPL champion over the years. Nayar joined the Indian support staff as an assistant coach last month, shortly after Gautam Gambhir was appointed head coach.
The Indian cricket team is currently on a month-long break before returning to action in mid-September. They will face Bangladesh in a two-match Test series, starting September 19. Rohit, aware that his experience and leadership are key to India’s ambitions, is determined to keep his fitness levels up as he looks to extend his international career for a few more years.
