Comeback Loading: Rohit Sharma Returns To The Nets, Gears Up For ODI Return
Rohit Sharma has been training with coach Abhishek Nayar. He was last seen in IPL 2025 and is preparing for a potential return in the upcoming Australia tour.
It's been 75 days since Rohit Sharma played competitive cricket. He last appeared for the Mumbai Indians in the second qualifier of IPL 2025. During the tournament, he announced his Test retirement via a social media post, and since then, speculations have been rife about his cricketing future. Meanwhile, several media reports have suggested that the upcoming white-ball tour of Australia could be his last. But far away from the noise, the Hitman has been focusing on his game as he returned to the nets lately.
Rohit Sharma is working tirelessly before he returns to the field. He has been training with his old friend and well-known coach Abhishek Nayar. In a recent video that's gone viral, the 38-year-old can be seen sweating it out at a Mumbai stadium, showing just how serious he is about his return.
The Indian ODI skipper has been training lately with Nayar in Mumbai. A few days ago, Rohit took to his Instagram handle and shared a picture with the former India batting coach in which both can be seen in the gym, which is an indication that he has kicked off his preparations for India's upcoming white-ball tour of Australia.
The Indian men's cricket team will travel to Australia in the third week of October to take part in a three-match ODI series, which will be followed by five T20Is between the two teams in Australia.
Rohit last turned out for India in ODIs on March 9, 2025, against New Zealand in Dubai. Opening the innings in the ICC Champions Trophy final, he led the chase of 252 with a classy 76 off 83 balls. His stellar knock in the title clash earned him the Player of the Match award.

Suhail Chandhok exclusive on growing a team in non-cricket market: 'We are a nation that loves heroes, not necessarily the sport'
U Mumba CEO and TV presenter Suhail Chandhok, in this exclusive chat with Firstpost, spoke about the challenges he faces as sports administrator, India's sporing culture and the future of Indian sports. Suhail Chandhok has worn many hats, including those of a cricketer, an actor, a TV presenter, and now CEO of U Mumba. However, he says that the transition to the administration side of this industry was 'natural' for him. In an exclusive interview with Firstpost, Suhail spoke about his journey, the challenges of being a young CEO, and his belief in building the right team culture. His love for sport began on the field, and when his playing days ended, he found a job as a TV presenter/commentator, doing stints for the Pro Kabaddi League, the Indian Premier League, and other sports. Now, Suhail has moved to the business side with kabaddi becoming his launchpad. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD On the financial side, Suhail revealed that sponsorship for non-cricket leagues hovers between Rs 3.5-5 crore a season, but he stressed that media rights are the real game-changer and play a big role in revenue generation. Suhail urged that more media platforms must back Indian sports. 'I think sponsorship is always something that is going to dictate a measure of success in some sense but I think that's not necessarily right, because sponsorship is only one metric of value. For instance, yes, you know, some teams are more successful than, let's say, three or four other leagues, whether it be volleyball, kho-kho, tennis, or badminton.' 'However, I think there is value that each sport brings to its own niche. Having said that, it has roughly been around the four to five crore mark in terms of sponsorship. That goes up and down, it yo-yos between three-and-a-half to four-and-a-half, five crores per season. 'Media rights are a big unlocking value, and I think we have to understand that media rights will always drive the overall value of a sport, of a franchise, of a team. That will continue to dictate value. However, that's where the market plays a big role. Today, we're again heading into what is potentially a monopoly market of Jio and Star coming together and I do hope that unlocking value continues. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Suhail also warned about the growing trend of big conglomerates controlling all the stakes in major sporting leagues in India, especially in terms of broadcast. 'We shouldn't lean on a monopoly market. I do hope to see more and more media houses come in that want to house sport, whether it be global entities entering India, like Netflix and the WWE deal. It's a great dictate for what the future of sport might look like. When you look at the effect that a Formula 1 movie has had, or a Drive to Survive show has had, or WWE now being on Netflix, I do hope more global platforms look at Indian sport and Indian leagues as a potential. I think the next ten years are going to be very strong for India, and more platforms need to enter the market.' Suhail on taking PKL to next level The Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) has already grown into one of the biggest sporting leagues in India, second only to the IPL in stature. Suhail opened up about the gaps that can be filled by the PKL organisers to make the league even bigger in India. 'I think listening to the franchises' needs a little bit more is important. All of us – all 12 teams – are looking to work with the PKL to grow the sport. What we need to do is unlock the true value of the sport. While the league, as an entity, is largely owned by the broadcaster, I think we still need to separate the two and work with the teams, the stakeholders of the sport, and others who are genuinely trying to promote it.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'We must also clamp down on any rubbish that's going on. We need to be very stern and focused on the progress of the sport in one clear direction. The league has done a fabulous job of building it to where it is today, but now it's the league's responsibility to take it up an extra notch. How do we commit to the future of the sport when we already have such strong stakeholders?' 'In terms of stature, I think only the IPL is a rival. We have the Kotak family, the Screwvala family, the Adanis, JSW, the Bachchans, Capri Global, and other private investors in the mix. This is a strong core group of team owners who are not looking for a quick exit, which means the sport is in safe hands. When the sport is in safe hands, it's our responsibility to stay true to it, unlock its value, and not stunt its growth.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Suhail believes that it is important to support new entrants because it will only help the sport grow. 'It's equally important to support others around the sport who are trying to do good for it. At Elev8 India Sports, we follow a 'copyleft' policy – we want to see more and more people come in. It's not about copyright and blocking; it's about allowing people to enter, contribute, and help the sport grow. Kabaddi is still at a nascent stage, so we need more people to talk about it, work for it, and build it up. Blocking new entrants will only curb enthusiasm and growth.' Suhail stressed that growing the sport is not just the league's job, but a shared duty for everyone involved. 'Everyone has a responsibility to help the sport grow. At the same time, we must educate players about what is right and wrong. Addressing certain issues today will help the sport clean up its act for the future as well.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Suhail on issues non-cricket leagues face Suhail also talked about the challenges that a growing sport like kabaddi faces. He said that when big money enters a sport suddenly, it can sometimes distract players from the true motivation of why they started playing in the first place. 'When a lot of money comes into the sport very very quickly, players stop understanding what the true value of why they are playing this game. You start to play for the auction or you start to play for your personal value rather than the value of a team. I think it's only very natural. It happened with the IPL when there was sudden unlocking of value where players started playing for their franchises rather than playing for their nations. Rather than committing to the calender of a country, they started playing where the money was. That is happening with kabaddi as well and I think helping players understand why they are playing this sport, why the sport has give them so much.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'So, player education is important. At Elev8 India Sportz Yuva Series we do a lot of financial literacy, we do a lot player psychology, we work with players understand anti-corruption, what their true value is.' Suhail on positive and negative trends in non-cricket leagues Suhail said the most promising sign is that Indian sports culture is slowly expanding beyond cricket. However, he pointed out that India's tendency to idolise individuals rather than the sport itself is a major issue. 'I think the trend is that we are leaning towards not just cricket. And I think that's something that has to happen for a country to become a true sporting nation. Firstly, there's one big challenge in India: we are a nation that loves heroes and not necessarily the sport. When I worked on the badminton league, people would rush to watch your PV Sindhu versus Saina Nehwal.' 'But when you had a Carolina Marin facing off against a world number two and number one at the time, the stadium would be empty. So we appreciate heroes and not the sport, and I think that needs to change for India to take steps towards becoming a true sporting nation. However, look at the flip side — while we turned up in large numbers to watch a javelin event, we may have all turned up in 10,000 numbers to watch a Neeraj Chopra.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'But when you get there and watch Neeraj Chopra, you start to understand what the sport of javelin even is. So I think it takes a hero to bring about awareness to a sport and vice versa. But at the same time, I do hope that while 10-15,000 people turned up to watch a javelin event in Bangalore — and I think that's a sign that India is heading in the right direction — I hope that tomorrow, when Neeraj Chopra is not necessarily the only guy that's there, at least 5,000 people do turn up to watch a javelin event.' 'And I think that's going to be the hallmark of success going forward. Because while we are talking about a 2036 Olympic bid, I hope that we understand that we have to build sporting culture, and that starts with everyone playing a sport. When you play a sport, you'll automatically tune into watching a sport. And I think that's what I want for all of us to do.' 'But I think the trend is very positive — more and more people are taking to a tennis court, a badminton court, a table tennis table, a pickleball court, a paddle court, playing football with their friends, playing kabaddi with their friends in their neighborhood.' Suhail on turning down offers from IPL teams Suhail revealed that he turned down management offers from teams in three different sports, including IPL franchises, before joining U Mumba at what he called 'the right time.' 'I unfortunately can't give you a full disclosure on those. All I will say is it's been across three different sports. I think the timing was such that it came at the right time with kabaddi. Since then, there's been a couple of others as well, including IPL teams. I will come back to I guess cricket in many ways and forms was one opportunity that, that came and went. I just thought that it would've taken a much bigger commitment in terms of time, and I don't think I would've been able to do broadcast at all if I took on a slightly larger commitment as well,' he said. 'Uh, but also I think it was the ability to do it at the right time, right? And I've always been someone that believes that things happen when they need to happen. And I think, you know, saying yes to the right opportunity is absolutely critical as well. There have been opportunities not just in India, but outside of India as well — again, very exciting stuff. And it's always nice to know you're wanted, right? I think that means you're doing something right.' Suhail on his equation with U Mumba owner Ronnie Screwvala While Suhail doesn't own a stake in U Mumba, he has full autonomy in running things as a CEO. He also acknowledged that he leans on his father-in-law, Ronnie Screwvala (owner of parent group U Sports), for advice related to the finances of the team. 'Unfortunately, not (on being asked if he owns a stake in U Sports). I am purely here as a consultant and a CEO. But look, I think there are positives and negatives to being so closely related to a franchise and to the owner of a team, especially when someone is of Ronnie's stature as well. I think he's an extremely hard taskmaster, and I think with that comes two sides, right? You have to have a great deal of transparency and honesty with yourself and, therefore, with him as well, and I was very clear about it when I took on the role." 'I think there's even more pressure when you take on a role where you're so closely related. There's so much more that you have to have in terms of belief so that you can put aside anything that anyone could potentially say. The good thing is that everyone knows I come in with a lot more sporting knowledge than many others here, and I think that for me was the number one conversation I had with Ronnie. I said, 'You know what? If it's a business decision, if it's something related to finance, I want to make sure that the door to you is open and I can come and have a chat and get the advice I need from you. But when it comes to sporting decisions, they have to be mine and mine alone.' And, you know, to this date, he's honoured that.' 'But at the same time, when it comes to the business side of things, I have the ability to tap his brain, and I think that's something wonderful to have. So while there is the added pressure of that, I think when you have the conviction of knowing you know the subject better than anyone else, you go in with that confidence.'

'If I criticise you in 7 matches out of 14, I'm being very lenient': Irfan Pathan unfiltered on IPL commentary sacking
Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has finally broken his silence on speculation surrounding his exit from the IPL 2025 broadcast panel. Speaking in an interview with TheLallantop, Pathan hinted that his ouster from the commentary panel might have been due to his criticism of India all-rounder Hardik Pandya, quite likely during the latter's first season as Mumbai Indians captain. Irfan Pathan didn't mince his words as he spoke about his sacking from IPL broadcast(File Image) Pathan was quick to stress that his commentary is rooted in professionalism, not personal bias. 'If I'm criticising you in 7 matches out of 14, I'm still being lenient. That is our job as broadcasters,' Pathan responded after being asked about the player who influenced his IPL exit. For the former all-rounder, constructive analysis is a core part of the role, and he rejected any suggestion of personal grudges. In fact, Pathan stressed his history of supporting players from Baroda, including Hardik himself. 'There is no rivalry. All the Baroda players who have come after me, Deepak Hooda, Krunal Pandya or Hardik Pandya, none of them can say that Irfan-Yusuf did not help them,' he said, drawing attention to the guidance he and his brother Yusuf have offered over the years. He added that it included help in arranging sponsorships and putting in a good word for the players. The former fast-bowling all-rounder recalled a telling moment from over a decade ago, when he had attempted to open doors for a young Hardik Pandya. Back in 2012, Pathan recommended the budding all-rounder to Sunrisers Hyderabad, only to see the opportunity slip away. 'VVS Laxman admitted on Star Sports, that he was at fault for not listening to me, and not picking Hardik in 2012. If he had picked him then, Hardik would have played for Hyderabad,' Pathan revealed. Pathan on defending Hardik Pathan also pointed to moments where he publicly defended Hardik. In particular, he highlighted his support for the all-rounder during the backlash from Mumbai Indians fans in 2024, after Rohit Sharma was removed from captaincy and Pandya faced hostile treatment. According to Pathan, his commentary is always directed at the cricket, not the individual. 'There is nothing wrong in criticising the player, if you play, you have to go through that. It happened with Sunil Gavaskar, the great Sachin Tendulkar… they never made anyone feel, they were bigger than the game. But I'm against the derogatory words used against Pandya,' Pathan clarified.

KKR join race for Sanju Samson race, offer RR two players including last year's Team India debutant: Report
The IPL rumour mill has been churning in this brief window of break for the Indian national team. The most on-demand player, the one who every IPL team has an eye on, is current Rajasthan Royals captain and Indian T20I opener Sanju Samson. Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson flips the coin at a toss in IPL 2025.(ANI) The latest team to join the Samson sweepstakes are reportedly Kolkata Knight Riders, a franchise in search of a marquee domestic talent to take charge of their top order in the coming seasons. With the RR captain seemingly an option on the table even before the auction for next year's competition, Bengali newspaper Anandabazar Patrika reports that KKR are considering flipping the high-profile talents of Angkrish Raghuvanshi or Ramandeep Singh. While both players provide high domestic upside and are players for the long-term future, RR will need to ask themselves how they also fit into current plans. For the team from Jaipur, the problem areas in 2025 was pace bowling and reliable lower middle order batting. Neither of the players they would receive in exchange for Samson are particularly suited for those roles, but could still prove to be valuable purchases for a team that has never shied away from taking big gambles on younger prospects. Is Samson a good fit for KKR? Meanwhile, Samson would fit in nicely at KKR, taking over the gloves and opening up an extra overseas slot as he would replace Quinton de Kock or Rahmanullah Gurbaz in the opening position. The key for the two teams would be to figure out the nitty-gritty details of such a team: Samson earns a top band of retainer money at INR 18 crore, suiting his status as Indian opener, but the two younger players only combine for INR 7 crore combined. Any such deal will likely include some cash involved. KKR are not the only team Samson has been linked with, as different reports indicate that Chennai Super Kings are very serious about landing the services of Samson for their team. However, RR's demands in response are steep, as they ask for captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, all-round power hitter Shivam Dube, or a homecoming for experienced veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. A potential Samson trade is likely to be a matter of concern for much of the league, with everyone with their ears to the ground in terms of finding the right trade for the Kerala superstar.
