The transformation comes on the back of a rigorous pre-season fitness assessment held at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru. Rohit, along with fellow teammates Shubman Gill, Jasprit Bumrah, and Jitesh Sharma, successfully cleared the tests. The evaluation included the standard Yo-Yo test, as well as the DXA Scan

India ODI skipper Rohit Sharma is set to make a high-profile return to international cricket in the upcoming three-match ODI series against Australia in October 2025. Ahead of his much-anticipated comeback, the 38-year-old opener has caught the attention of fans and pundits alike with a remarkable physical transformation.
This will be Rohit`s first outing since India’s Champions Trophy 2025 win in March, where he was instrumental in the final, scoring a match-winning 76 off 83 deliveries and earning the Player of the Match award. Now, as India gear up for a busy white-ball season, the veteran batter’s renewed focus on fitness signals serious intent.
