Not only did Rohit pass the test, but he reportedly impressed observers with his overall fitness and stamina. The assessment also included the familiar Yo-Yo test, a benchmark widely used to gauge the endurance and agility of Indian cricketers. According to RevSportz Global, all players who participated in the fitness evaluations on August 30 and 31 successfully passed the tests.

Reports highlighted Rohit’s exceptional physical condition at the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru, where his appearance and performance drew praise from coaches and teammates. Fast bowler Prasidh Krishna also garnered attention for posting impressive numbers in the assessments.

Rohit is expected to feature prominently in India’s upcoming ODI series in Australia on October 19, 23, and 25. However, it remains uncertain if he will play for India A in their three one-day matches against Australia A in Kanpur on September 30, October 3, and October 5.

 

The veteran opener has already retired from T20Is and Tests, stepping away from the shortest format after leading India to the T20 World Cup title in June 2024. His Test farewell, however, was less memorable, following a challenging run in the 2024–25 Test series in Australia. Just before India’s home series against England, Rohit decided to end his red-ball career.

As things stand, Rohit now focuses solely on ODIs while also representing the Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2025 season. With questions surrounding his long-term future, his strong results in the recent fitness tests provide a timely boost for both the player and team management, reaffirming that he remains a key contributor for India in white-ball cricket.
