Rohit Sharma clears fitness test before India vs Australia ODI series

As he prepares to return to competition, India's ODI skipper Rohit Sharma is said to have completed a battery of fitness tests at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru. Recently, Rohit and a number of other Indian cricket players, including pace spearhead and Test skipper Shubman Gill, checked into the facility.

For India's stars, who have been taking a well-earned month-long vacation after a demanding tour of England earlier this year, the fitness evaluation signals the beginning of preparations for a busy international schedule.

Prior to the three-match series against Australia, Rohit Sharma, the captain of India in the One-Day International format, passed the fitness test. Following his announcement of his retirement from the Test and T20I formats, Rohit does not now have any international commitments. In November, the senior batter will go to Australia for an ODI series.

The Bronco test pushes athletes to their aerobic limits by having them perform shuttle runs between marked distances of 20, 40, and 60 meters repeatedly without rest. Many questioned whether Rohit's performance would be impacted by his advanced age and recent format retirements. It was a true test of fitness and determination - essential qualities as India prepares for their ODI fixtures ahead.

After acing the yo-yo test with an unexpected score of 19.4 (which has yet not been made official but has been making rounds in the news), it was the newly added test, and the fans were nervous, keeping in mind Rohit’s age.

The findings have finally been made public after much anticipation, and they are shocking in the nicest way imaginable. In addition to passing the Bronco test, Rohit's extraordinary level of fitness astounded everyone in attendance. According to reports, he performed exceptionally well on the test in terms of both physical shape and stamina, with no indications of ageing. His performance and the Yo-Yo test, which he also took, have restored faith in his capacity to successfully command India's ODI team going forward.
