After India defeated Pakistan on June 9, the players got a day’s break and utilised it to their full effect. Rohit decided to spend it with his family, taking his wife and daughter to nature’s trail. Although the exact location of the place is not known, based on the pictures, it looked like they went somewhere close to nature.

Meanwhile, India need just a win from their remaining two games to cement their place in the Super 8 stage. India, with two wins in two games, are on top of Group A, while USA are second with same number of wins as Men in Blue. Rohit, for his part, scored a fifty against Ireland but failed to replicate the same against Pakistan.

Earlier, Rohit was hit on shoulder against Ireland by a Joshua Little delivery. He immediately felt pain and left the field retired out. It wasn’t a major injury through. Having won five IPL titles with Mumbai Indians, Rohit is eagerly wanting to win one silverware with the national team as a captain.

Under his captaincy, India played the semifinals of 2022 T20 World Cup, and the finals of World Test Championship and ODI World Cup last year. India are one of the favourites to win the ongoing T20 World Cup.
