Rohit Sharma to get ready for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 with intense white-ball training

ICC Champions Trophy 2025: India's ODI captain Rohit Sharma has started intense training for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Rohit is putting in all efforts with high intensity before the tournament which will come under much hype. He had a disastrous time during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy where he could not get into the form in the Test format. This senior batsman looks forward to redeeming himself in the most significant way and leaves no stone unturned to make a great comeback.

Rohit is in the Reliance Corporate Park at Navi Mumbai. He has worked on his skills for white-ball cricket there. Both have attempted to move as close as possible to perfection in their sessions because Hardik Pandya was with him. Rohit has worked on his special shots like late cuts and pull shots he is known for along with his big-hitting ability. Recently, the videos of his training have gone viral, where he is hitting sixes off the spinners as if it's a breeze; surely, he has gained confidence with the Champions Trophy and ODI assignments coming soon.

The tournament will start from February 19, 2025, and is essential for India's white-ball dream, and thus, Rohit Sharma's captaincy will come into play. His recent failures with the bat in Test cricket have made one wonder about his consistency, but he remains the best bet for redemption in the 50-over format. Rohit could muster only 31 runs in three Test matches against Australia, and that also cast a question mark over his ability to deliver in big situations. But somehow white-ball cricket seems to work out for him, and the Champions Trophy could just be the ideal stage from which to silence critics and remind everyone that he is a part of Indian cricket.

While Rohit is looking to get back into his rhythm, Hardik Pandya's frequent appearances in the domestic circuit have kept him fresh. As the two cricketers continue to train in Mumbai, Rohit's eagerness and commitment to his game are evident as he looks to get back into match fitness after having been away from competitive white-ball cricket for more than six months. The ODI series against England is slated to begin on February 6, 2025. Whether Rohit is included in the team is yet to be seen as it has been reported that senior players such as Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah have been rested for this tour. However, the latest report says that Rohit is looking forward to join the team since he has been very intense with his training sessions.

Rohit's preparation is for redemption not just of himself but for India to again regain their leadership in the Champions Trophy. This tournament will help India regain the title of supremacy in the 50-over format and with the leader in the face of Rohit Sharma, they are hopeful to put an end to the ICC trophy drought. Performances in this tournament can be defining ones for him in his career as well as in India's case for its successes in international cricket.

The Champions Trophy is going to be another leadership defining moment by Rohit Sharma for India. This time he can really lead from the front and make a significant difference with his bat, which is going to make the difference between India and other teams for winning the trophy. Apart from batting, Rohit as a captain is going to stabilize and direct the team. He has consistently proved that he can come good, and the Champions Trophy is a good platform to repeat the show again.

With Rohit further practicing in nets, the other members of the Indian team, headed by Suryakumar Yadav, are gearing up for their T20I series against England on January 22, 2025. The side has sought a three-day training camp in Kolkata. So, Rohit getting back into form will surely lift his game as well as the morale of the team. The squads for the England series and the Champions Trophy are to be announced around January 18 or 19, 2025, and there is an air of anticipation regarding India's selection and preparations.

Rohit Sharma will have to get back to his best for India to take on the best teams in the world at the Champions Trophy. His performance would be a precursor to the entire team, so the Indian cricketing fraternity would be reflecting through its breath while watching him taking India to glory in 2025. Rohit Sharma's path to the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 would certainly be something worth following given his relentless pursuit of his craft and leadership on and off the field.
