Rohit Sharma's Airport Appearance Fuels Comeback Excitement Ahead of Australia Series

India’s ODI captain Rohit Sharma was greeted by enthusiastic fans when he was spotted at the airport on Friday. Escorted by airport staff and personnel as he made his way to his vehicle, Rohit paused briefly while fans tried to click selfies with the batter. In the middle of the excitement, one supporter was heard saying, “Sir, Australia series ka intezar hai. Asli cricket tab chalu hoga (We’re waiting for the Australia series. The real cricket will start then).” His sighting at the airport comes as anticipation grows around Rohit’s return to international cricket. The 38-year-old will lead India in a three-match ODI series against Australia beginning October 19 in Perth, marking his first outing for the national side in more than seven months. Rohit has been stepping up his preparations at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru, where he was recently seen training alongside Mumbai batter Sarfaraz Khan. A picture of the two working together in the nets, shared by Sarfaraz on Instagram, went viral earlier this week. While Sarfaraz continues to push for a breakthrough into the national squad with consistent domestic performances, Rohit has been sharpening his rhythm and fitness ahead of the high-profile series against Australia. His recent practice sessions, including a widely shared net video, showed his trademark timing and sent a strong message about his readiness. With his return around the corner, every public appearance of the India skipper has drawn significant attention, highlighting the anticipation around his comeback.
