    Rohit is not part of India’s limited overs squad for the Australia tour and selectors included him in the revised Test squad after he played two IPL games for Mumbai Indians besides the final. Though Rohit said he was absolutely fine, the BCCI felt he needed more time to recover from his hamstring injury he had suffered during the IPL, triggering a massive debate over his fitness status.

    Rohit had also scored a fluent 68 in the IPL final which his team won by a handsome margin.

    Rohit’s fitness has become even more crucial since regular skipper Virat Kohli won’t be available after the first Test in Australia as his wife Anushka Sharma is expecting.

    Both Ishant and Rohit will fly to Australia together and undergo a 14-day quarantine before joining the team.

We said in the beginning that we need to get into the habit of winning. We cannot desire more than this. We never looked back after moving forward. I think a lot of the credit for the victory goes to the people working behind the scenes. The hard work of these people often goes unnoticed.

    He said, “Our work started long before the IPL started. I had to work to bring out the best out of the players of the team. I am not a person who runs a stick with a stick to perform well. It is important to instill confidence in the players. Krunal, Hardik and Pollard played very well for a long time. They know their roles. “Rohit said, We made sure that Ishaan and Suryakumar are full of confidence. Suryakumar is a very mature player. He remained in form throughout the tournament and also played some incredible shots. Unfortunately fans were not present at the stadium this season. We remembered playing in an environment like Wankhede. Hopefully the IPL will play there again next year.
