Rohit’s performance has also been praised by former Indian captain Kapil Dev, although he has also expressed concern over Rohit’s fitness along with it. He said that Rohit needs to lose weight as he looks fat on TV.

“He is a great batsman but when it comes to fitness, he looks a bit overweight on TV. It looks different when you see it on TV and then different in real life. But whatever I have seen, Rohit is a great player and a great captain, but he needs to be fit. Look at Virat, whenever you see him you say, this is fitness,” Kapil said on ABP News.

The third Test will take place in Indore from March 1. India would look to win the Test and seal their spot in the WTC final. Lots to play for in the upcoming days.
