ROHIT TO MAKE COMEBACK VS ANDHRA ON MARCH 4

Mumbai, March 1: Rohit Sharma has announced that he has completed with his rehabilitation following a thigh surgery and is set to make his comeback with Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Rohit has been out of the game for more than three months after sustaining the injury in India’s fifth ODI against New Zealand in November.

Rohit’s first match will be on March 4 against Andhra and then will be playing the next against Goa on 6. With Mumbai all but assured for a place in the quarterfinals, Rohit will get more match time to get fit in case selectors want to pick him for the final two Test matches in Ranchi and Dharamsala, respectively.

Rohit had opened for India in the preceding Test series but was left out of the squad that

played against England. India have gone on to win both series comprehensively with K.L. Rahul, who replaced Rohit missing out on a double century by just a run.

Rohit has had difficulty fitting into the Test setup but is one of the most explosive batsmen in limited overs cricket. Since cementing his opening spot in the 2013 Champions Trophy, and his knocks have led India to victory on multiple occassions.

He is only the third batsman to score an ODI double century.

Rohit’s first match will be on March 4 against Andhra and then will be playing the next against Goa a couple of days later
