According to a reliable media source, Rohit complained of discomfort on his right thigh, opting out of the net session. 

If the reports are to be believed, the legendary cricketer didn't even participate in the batting, bowling and fielding drills. 

So, considering his importance for the national side across format, it won't be surprising if the Indian management decides to rest him for the final ODI as a precautionary measure. 

However, Rohit's unavailability might adversely impact India's playing combination, as they don't have a reserve opener in their squad. 

So, if he misses out, it will be interesting to see who India choose as Shubman Gill's opening partner.
