Rohit reportedly aims to train in Australian conditions ahead of the vital series and plans to return to India for a short period. As quoted by TOI, the source said: “Rohit wants to train in Australia for a few days before possibly returning to India for personal reasons.” This decision highlights Sharma’s dedication to adjusting to Australian conditions well in advance, even if it requires a short trip back to India. Rohit Sharma, currently facing challenges with the bat in red-ball cricket, carries a major responsibility as the qualification for the WTC largely depends on his performance and leadership abilities. Following a tough 3-0 defeat to New Zealand on home soil, India now faces the challenge of winning four out of five matches in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) to secure a spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) finals for 2025.
