India vs England: India Captain Rohit Sharma Hits The Nets For White-Ball Series
Rohit Sharma has recovered from COVID-19, and he had a nets session on Sunday at Edgbaston, Birmingham against the likes of Ravichandran Ashwin and Umesh Yadav
India captain Rohit Sharma has recovered from COVID-19 and the right-handed batter had a net session at Edgbaston, Birmingham. Rohit is missing the ongoing rescheduled fifth Test against England after he tested positive for COVID-19 during the warm-up fixture against Leicestershire. A day before the start of the 5th Test, Rohit once again tested positive for COVID-19 and hence he was ruled out of the Edgbaston Test.
The BCCI on Monday shared a video of Rohit having a net session against the likes of Ravichandran Ashwin and Umesh Yadav who are not a part of the playing XI for the ongoing Test.
"@ImRo45 - out and about in the nets! Gearing up for some white-ball cricket," tweeted BCCI.
