Through rigorous fitness training with former India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar, the 38-year-old reportedly lost about 10 kg. He will play under new captain Shubman Gill when he makes his ODI comeback against Australia later in October, and this transformation comes before then.
Rohit attended the event wearing a maroon blazer, and his appearance drew praise from fans and fellow cricketers alike. He was joined by his wife, Ritika Sajdeh, and looked relaxed and cheerful throughout the evening.
At the ceremony, Rohit credited Rahul Dravid for building a winning culture in the Indian team that led to victories in the 2024 T20 World Cup and 2025 Champions Trophy. Rohit stressed his unwavering dedication to the team and alluded to his focus on remaining healthy and playing well in advance of the 2027 ODI World Cup, even though he resigned as ODI captain.
