India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, is set to make his eagerly anticipated return to action this week as India prepares for a three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. Currently, both teams are engaged in a three-match T20I series.
Since leading India to victory in the T20 World Cup last month, Rohit Sharma has been out of competitive action. His leadership propelled India to their first T20 World Cup title in 17 years, ending an 11-year drought for an ICC trophy. In a thrilling final against South Africa, India triumphed by 7 runs to clinch the championship.
India’s campaign in the tournament was historic as they became the first team ever to win the T20 World Cup without losing a single match. Rohit Sharma played a pivotal role, leading from the front and emerging as India’s highest run-scorer in the tournament, second only to Afghanistan’s Rahmanullah Gurbaz in the overall list.

Rohit Sharma showcased his batting prowess in the T20 World Cup, amassing 257 runs across 8 matches, which included three half-centuries. Following his stellar performance in the final against South Africa, the seasoned batsman announced his retirement from the shortest format of the game. Naturally, fans are eagerly anticipating his return to action.
However, ahead of his comeback, Rohit Sharma found himself at the center of social media attention yet again. He faced criticism from some fans who accused him of editing his photo to enhance his appearance. The Indian batting icon has often been a target of online trolls regarding his physique, and this incident added to the recurring trend.
Recently, Rohit Sharma shared a photo from his training session on Instagram, which was also posted by the BCCI on social media. Some sharp-eyed users pointed out alleged edits to the photo, suggesting attempts to conceal his midsection.
Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma is gearing up to make a strong comeback in ODIs this week. His last ODI appearance was in the World Cup final back in November last year. The upcoming series against Sri Lanka marks India’s first ODI assignment of the year as well.
