Rohit Sharma is all set to resume his captaincy duties for the first time since the 2022 T20 World Cup semi-final defeat at the hands of England. He will be seen leading the Indian cricket team in the upcoming 3-match ODI series starting on Sunday (December 4) in Dhaka. It has to be noted that senior players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, and others were rested by the BCCI following India’s embarrassing 10-wicket defeat at the hands of England in the semifinal of the T20 World Cup 2022.
Ahead of the much-awaited series, the Indian skipper shared a series of pictures on his Instagram account. Sharing the pictures, Rohit captured the picture as: “back in action”.

Ritika Sajdeh, who is known for her sense of humor, trolled the Indian skipper hilariously. She wrote: “The third picture wasn’t so action-packed.”
The picture that Ritika took a dig at is where Rohit can be seen sitting with pads on and taking a bit of rest as he watched his teammates practice. While in the first two pictures, the Indian captain can be seen batting and warming up playing some football.

Talking about Rohit Sharma, the Indian captain along with other senior players including Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, were rested for the series against New Zealand. But they will be back in action for the upcoming series against Bangladesh.
Ahead of the game, Rohit justified the decision of the BCCI to rest some players. He said: “As professionals, we have to keep up the intensity. Yes, there’s a lot of cricket and that’s why we give them breaks. And people need to understand that when we give players a break, it is only to manage the workload keeping the bigger picture in mind. Cricket is not going to stop. There will always be a lot of cricket and we need to manage our players. You want your best players to play with higher intensity all the time. So it is important to give them breaks, manage them as freshness is very important,”
He added: “Lot of the guys have been on the road before the World Cup and we had two back-to-back series versus Australia and South Africa. And then, we went straight to Australia. It has already been two and half months. It is impossible in this day and age that you will always play with your best 15. It’s not going to happen,”
