Ahead of the first ODI against Australia in Perth, Shastri said that Rohit remains one of the most influential leaders in white-ball cricket, but his Test captaincy record has not impressed him. As India’s white-ball captain, Rohit led the team to the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 and the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, along with several Asia Cups and IPL titles.

Ravi Shastri said on The Grade Cricketer: “He's won Asia Cups as well and IPL trophies (apart from ICC trophies), much like MS Dhoni. MS won everything. With MS, it was the full monty. Both of them are outstanding white-ball captains. I won't say the same when it comes to tests because the attention span is not the same.”

Having been impressed by Rohit’s hard work on his fitness, Shastri added, “Fitness-wise there is no problem with Virat, and you see Rohit now; he has really worked. He has lost a lot of weight; he has worked hard on his fitness. So, that hunger, that desire, is there.”

The three-match ODI series against Australia will be Rohit Sharma’s first international outing since the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Fans are eager to see him back in action, sparking debates across social media over their return, including Virat Kohli, who is also making a comeback in Australia.
He signed off by saying, “It's just likes and probably where you come from, which state you come from, and which team you are playing for. Like a lot of Virat fans would be RCB fans. A lot of Rohit fans would be MI fans. It has always been the case. Honestly, with these two players, the fans are universal. MS had a huge fan following, and that is the case in India.”
