As the Asia Cup 2025 approaches, the discussion on the match between India and Pakistan has intensified. The director of the Pakistan Cricket Board recently warned that his team can defeat India. The statement has further increased the tension between the two countries, as this clash is very special in every tournament. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have started preparations for their comeback from India. Both stars are working hard to get back on the field after a long break.

Rohit Sharma's preparations

Rohit Sharma was last seen playing in IPL 2025. Now he is sweating for his next big challenge. India's ODI captain was recently seen training in the gym, where he was paying full attention to his fitness. At the age of 38, he knows that only constant hard work can keep him in the game for a long time. Rohit is currently practising with former India coach Abhishek Nayar. Nayar had earlier given new life to the careers of Dinesh Karthik and KL Rahul. In such a situation, Rohit is also hopeful that he can shine again in the ODI format.

Virat Kohli's return

Virat Kohli has also been away from the field since the IPL. Recently, he was seen outside the net session in London. He did batting practice with Gujarat Titans coach Naeem Amin some time ago. This training is important for Virat because, at the age of 36, he knows that only fitness can take him to the 2027 World Cup. Kohli is still preparing with the same passion as he did at the beginning of his career.

India lost the final of the 2023 World Cup. Now Rohit and Kohli's goal is to win the title for the team in the 2027 World Cup. By then, Rohit will be 40 and Kohli will be 38 years old. If their fitness remains, then both of them together can fulfil that dream.
