BGT 2024-25: Rohit Sharma Joins Indian Team In Perth, Practices Against Pink Ball
Rohit had arrived in Perth on Sunday, and had missed the ongoing match of this Border-Gavaskar Trophy series due to the birth of his second child. Fox Sports also showed that Rohit was practising against the pink ball in nets at Perth during lunch break, with reserve players Navdeep Saini, Yash Dayal, and Mukesh Kumar bowling to him.
India are slated to play a two-day pink-ball tour match against Prime Minister’s XI at the Manuka Oval in Canberra on November 30 and December 1 ahead of the day-night Test at the Adelaide Oval happening from December 6-10.
"Just during the lunch break here at the nets, we've got captain of India Rohit Sharma, who's just arrived in the country, looking nice and sharp against his fellow countrymen here in the nets. We've got a few of the Indian fast bowlers bowling towards the captain ahead of the pink ball test match starting the 6th of December in Adelaide."
“As we just see there Mukesh Kumar is sending down a nice delivery. But it's great to see the captain here and we're looking forward to seeing him back out on the park here on Australian soil, come a couple of days time,” said former Australia opener David Warner, who had gone down to see Rohit at the nets.
