Fans were left anxious after India ODI captain Rohit Sharma was unexpectedly spotted late Monday night at the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Mumbai. The late-hour visit triggered a wave of speculation, with fans expressing concern over his health weeks ahead of a crucial comeback to international cricket.
Viral visuals from the scene show the veteran opener stepping out of his vehicle and walking briskly into the hospital premises. Although there were no visible signs of injury or discomfort, Rohit appeared briefly confused by the presence of cameras before proceeding inside. The absence of any official statement from either the cricketer or the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has further fuelled public curiosity.

Rohit recently cleared a comprehensive fitness assessment at the BCCI’s National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru. The evaluation included the standard Yo-Yo test alongside a DXA scan, which assesses bone density and overall body composition, both critical for elite-level performance. This clearance was a key milestone as he prepares to lead Team India in the upcoming ODI series against Australia.
The 36-year-old has not played any international match since India’s win in the ICC Champions Trophy earlier this year. With both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli having retired from T20Is and Test cricket earlier in 2025, their exclusive focus on the 50-over format has amplified fan anticipation surrounding their return.
India’s ODI squad will reconvene for a high-stakes three-match series against Australia, kicking off on October 19 at Optus Stadium in Perth. The series marks the beginning of India’s final phase of preparation ahead of the 2026 ICC Cricket World Cup, and the duo’s leadership and form will be vital to India’s campaign.
Despite the swirling rumours, sources close to the team have yet to confirm whether Rohit’s hospital visit was health-related or routine. Some speculate it could be linked to follow-up medical procedures or personal reasons unrelated to his playing fitness. Still, the timing of the visit, just weeks before his official return, has kept fans on edge. As fans await clarification, optimism remains that the Indian skipper will take the field as scheduled in Perth.
