In the viral picture, Rohit can be seen in the gym, which is an indication that he has kicked off his preparations for the upcoming India\u2019s white-ball tour of Australia. The Indian men\u2019s cricket team will travel to Australia in the third week of October to take part in a three-match ODI series, which will be followed by five T20Is between the two teams in Australia.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">Since Rohit is only active in ODIs now, he will play the three 50-over matches. The series opener is scheduled to take place at Optus Stadium in Perth on October 19, and the next two ODIs will be played in Adelaide and Sydney on October 23 and 25, respectively.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article_embeddedimg\">\n<div class=\"inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Rohtit-Sharma-2025-08-ef621791ca890d1916b574e7f4f963af.png?impolicy=website&amp;width=0&amp;height=0\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9501676\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rohit Sharma starts training with Abhishek Nayar<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Rohit last played an ODI match for India on March 9, 2025, against New Zealand in Dubai.
