 "Rohit Sharma joins Team India in Perth, hits the nets ahead of upcoming matches")
Rohit Sharma did not take much time to get into action as he arrived in Perth on Sunday and hit the nets on Monday as Team India played against Australia in the first Test at the Optus Stadium. India captain Rohit missed the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Perth due to the birth of his second child but joined the team midway through the match.
He was seen batting in the nets against the pink ball during the lunch session on Monday as he faced reserve pacers Navdeep Saini, Yash Dayal, and Mukesh Kumar.
The Indian contingent will travel to Canberra on Wednesday for a two-day tour game starting November 30. That practice game doesn’t have first-class status.
However, the match will have some amount of significance as it is a ‘Pink Ball’ Day/Night game which will serve as preparation for the second Test in Adelaide starting December 6.
Rohit is expected to play the game in Canberra as the pink Kookaburra in Adelaide offers a different kind of challenge for the batters, especially in the famous twilight hour when the ball is known to jag around more than usual.
