Moving on from the disastrous chapter of the Test series against the Proteas, Team India is set to shift their focus to the upcoming ODI series. The forthcoming series has already become special for the Indian fans as Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are returning to India’s squad.
As the first ODI kicks off in Ranchi, the stars have arrived and are ready to shine. Ahead of stepping into the big stage, RO-KO’s intense net session went viral.
Ranchi witnesses RO-KO’s batting brilliance in a fiery practice session
Facing South Africa on the home soil in a two-match Test series turned out to be a massive disappointment for the Indian side. Following a massive 408-run defeat in Guwahati, the Men in Blue faced a whitewash at the hands of the Proteas. After the bizarre outing, Team India has set their focus on the upcoming ODI series, aiming for a mighty turnaround.
After the ODI series against Australia, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have come up in the ODI setup, and the side got a massive boost. Just after arriving in Ranchi, the star batters started preparing for the first ODI match, which is scheduled on November 30.
Coming to the first practice session at the JSCA Stadium, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were seen practicing together in the nets. From thunderous hits to flawless strokeplay, the duo’s sizzling shots drove fans wild. Packed with Rohit Sharma’s intensity and King Kohli’s mastery, the video went viral on social media.

Men in Blue look for comeback after Test horror
Before facing the Proteas on home soil, the Indian fans were confident without realising that is going to be their biggest heartbreak. After a 30-run loss in Kolkata, Team India suffered an even heavier blow with a historic Test defeat in Guwahati, and the pain deepened as key stars were ruled out of the upcoming ODI series.
After vice-captain Shreyas Iyer was already out, the captain, Shubman Gill’s recent neck injury kept him away from the series. Standing at that point, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s presence in the team has become a significant boost.
In the last ODI series against Australia, the Ro-Ko duo stole the spotlight. In the last match, the world saw a Ro-Ko show as Hitman shone with an unbeaten century, and Kohli’s unbeaten 74-run innings secured the victory. Standing at the point, when the team is eyeing a bounce back against South Africa, the team needed their experience and brilliance together.
