Team India is gearing up for the highly anticipated three-match Test series against New Zealand, and the preparations are in full swing. Skipper Rohit Sharma, a pivotal figure for India, was recently seen honing his batting skills in the nets. The Indian captain has been fine-tuning his technique ahead of the challenging series, as seen in a video he shared on Instagram, which quickly went viral across social media platforms.
The first Test between India and New Zealand is scheduled to begin on October 16 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. This series will be crucial for India as they look to build momentum, especially with another important series against Australia on the horizon. Rohit’s form has been vital to India’s success this season, and his performances in the upcoming games could be the key to India’s chances of winning.
Former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja recently weighed in on Rohit’s performances in the recent Test series against Bangladesh. According to Jadeja, while Rohit delivered impactful contributions, he fell short of converting his starts into big scores.

“Rohit Sharma, the batter we know, has been a double-century scorer in both ODIs and Tests. He is a leader in India’s batting template, but the big knocks didn’t come as often in the Bangladesh series,” Ajay Jadeja remarked during an analysis on Colors Cineplex.

Jadeja also mentioned that fans, including himself, expect Rohit to produce substantial innings like 100s or 200s, given his ability to dominate the game.

“Rohit’s impact was there, but he didn’t convert any of his innings. As a fan, you miss seeing those big scores from Rohit, especially in Tests. It’s a format where we expect those 50s, 100s, and even double centuries, like the ones he hits in ODIs,”Ajay Jadeja added.
As India prepares for the upcoming series, all eyes will be on Rohit to see if he can rediscover his knack for big knocks and lead his team to victory.
