[Watch] Team India captain Rohit Sharma hits the nets after testing negative for COVID-19
Team India skipper Rohit Sharma recently took part in a practice session after testing negative for COVID-19. The right-hander was spotted batting in the nets as he geared up for the upcoming white-ball series against hosts England.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared a video on their social media accounts on Monday to give fans a glimpse of Sharma's net session. Along with the skipper, several other Indian players were also seen sweating it out ahead of the T20I series, starting July 7 at Southampton.
BCCI posted on Twitter:
"@ImRo45 - out and about in the nets! Gearing up for some white-ball cricket."

It is worth mentioning that Sharma was ruled out of the ongoing rescheduled fifth Test between India and England at Edgbaston after testing positive for COVID-19. Much to the delight of his fans, he has now recovered and is available for the limited-overs leg of the tour.
After the one-off Test at Edgbaston, the two cricketing giants are scheduled to battle it out in three T20Is and as many ODIs.
