Amit Mishra Backs Rohit Sharma’s Fitness After Leaner ODI Return

He says evaluations should focus on sustained performance rather than a lean look.

Overview

  • Speaking on a MensXP podcast, Amit Mishra said Rohit Sharma "has made a comeback and is fit" and maintained he was fit even when critics called him heavy.
  • Mishra, who has shared dressing rooms with Rohit for India and Deccan Chargers, said he never found Rohit slow and noted he regularly fielded actively.
  • He cautioned players against chasing quick, cosmetic transformations and urged natural, sustainable habits built on diet, sleep, running and gym work.
