India vs England: India Captain Rohit Sharma Hits The Nets For White-Ball Series

India captain Rohit Sharma has recovered from COVID-19 and the right-handed batter had a net session at Edgbaston, Birmingham. Rohit is missing the ongoing rescheduled fifth Test against England after he tested positive for COVID-19 during the warm-up fixture against Leicestershire. A day before the start of the 5th Test, Rohit once again tested positive for COVID-19 and hence he was ruled out of the Edgbaston Test.

The BCCI on Monday shared a video of Rohit having a net session against the likes of Ravichandran Ashwin and Umesh Yadav who are not a part of the playing XI for the ongoing Test.

"@ImRo45 - out and about in the nets! Gearing up for some white-ball cricket," tweeted BCCI.

In the ongoing Test, Jasprit Bumrah-led India are on top after extending their lead to 257 on Day 3.
