Rohit Sharma sure has a funny bone, but this time around, it was the Vice-captain at the receiving end when ace Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh decided to troll him over a video of the former exercising at the gym.
Rohit Sharma took to Instagram to post photos and videos of his workout on Tuesday. In the video, he was seen doing deadlifts while in the photo, he was seen doing the dumbbell row. “Only 40 kg for this?? Common shaana,” commented Harbhajan on Rohit’s post.
Look at the post here
Rohit, who had a decent T20I series in New Zealand, scoring two 50s in five innings, was ruled out of the ODI and Test series in the wake of enduring a calf injury during the fifth and last T20I at Mount Maunganui. The India opener had to retire hurt and couldn't take the field. He was replaced in the ODI squad by Mayank Agarwal while Shubman Gill was called up for the two-match Test series.
India felt an instant impact of Rohit’s injury as the new opening combination of Mayank Agarwal and Prithvi Shaw – both made their debuts in the first ODI against New Zealand – failed to give India good starts. In the wake of whitewashing New Zealand 5-0 during the T20Is, India ended up losing the three-match ODI series 3-0.
The Indian team management will be hoping that Rohit regains his fitness ahead of the three-match ODI series at home against South Africa.
In the meantime, the Virat Kohli-led India side will take on New Zealand in the first Test match at Wellington beginning on Friday.
