Rohit Sharma is intensely training for an ODI comeback, aiming to play until the 2027 World Cup. A video shows him in excellent form, coinciding with his rise to No. 2 in the ICC ODI batting rankings. Sharma and Kohli, committed to the 50-over format, may return in the October series against Australia.

Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, and Commander Prerna Deosthalee will appear on KBC’s Independence Day special episode.
