One of the photos shows Rohit walking hand-in-hand with his family on a street, while another captures him dressed casually in blue shorts and a floral-patterned shirt, enjoying the scenery. The post quickly went viral, racking up nearly a million likes within the first hour.
According to multiple claims, Rohit is currently understood to be in London, where he's been unwinding following a hectic schedule.
Earlier this year, the 38-year-old was lauded for his resilience during the ICC Champions Trophy, with former India selector Jatin Paranjape revealing that Rohit had been managing a hamstring injury throughout the tournament.
Despite the physical challenge, Rohit led India to a title win, securing a four-wicket victory over New Zealand in the final.

What do you think about Rohit Sharma's decision to retire from Test cricket?
It was the right decision It was too early
Speaking to the media, Paranjape said, 'He could have — he should have — played a little bit more. I thought maybe for a couple more years. Rohit Sharma was also struggling with a hamstring injury for the last four or five months. He didn't get a lot of rest. I thought he could have played a little more because he was batting superbly.'
While he is no longer part of the Test setup, he will certainly be rooting for the Indian team, who are trailing 2-1 heading into the 4th Test of the five-match series vs England.

Saiyaara Box Office Collection Day 8: Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda's movie is now inches away from ₹200 crore milestone
Saiyaara Box Office Collection Day 8: After an exceptional first week, Saiyaara, starring debutants Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda, has continued its dream run with a rock-steady hold at the Indian box office for week 2 on Friday. With an opening week collection of ₹ 172.75 crore, the Mohit Suri directorial is the second-highest Week 1 grosser of the year, only behind Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava. 'No one – not even in their wildest dreams – could have imagined Saiyaara shaking the industry with its phenomenal numbers, day after day,' said film trade analyst Taran Adarsh for the 'epic blockbuster'. In mere eight days at the theatres, Saiyaara is now just inches away from achieving the ₹ 200 crore milestone, which several Bollywood biggies like Sitaare Zameen Par couldn't achieve in over a month on the big screen. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Saiyaara witnessed a minimal (5.26%) drop from its Thursday earnings on Friday. However, showing a 'remarkable consistency,' the movie was able to mint ₹ 18 crore on Day 8 as it is headed towards its second weekend. The movie is expected to drop just 15–20%, which is still a remarkable hold. With this, Saiyaara has earned a total of ₹ 190.75 crore in 8 days. The movie is set to cross the ₹ 200 crore milestone on Saturday, Day 9. With little to no competition at the Hindi box office, Sacnilk estimated that Saiyaara's second weekend collection will be in the range of ₹ 70 crore net, which would be a record for a romantic drama and one of the biggest second weekends ever. If the momentum holds, there is a chance of Saiyaara touching the ₹ 250 crore mark by the end of its second weekend, a monumental benchmark for a movie led by fresh faces. This dream run is expected to continue for Saiyaara till at least August 1, before the release of Dhadak 2. On Day 7, Saiyaara collected ₹ 250.5 crore globally, of which it earned ₹ 43.5 overseas. Its gross collection in India stands at ₹ 207 crore. Saiyaara is a romance-drama about Krish Kapoor (Ahaan Panday), a budding musician, and Vaani Batra (Aneet Padda), a shy writer. Through their relationship, the film explores love, loss, and drama.

Jasprit Bumrah not injured, need more energy on flat decks: Morne Morkel
India bowling coach Morne Morkel brushed aside injury concerns for Jasprit Bumrah and said that a bit more energy is needed from the pacers as their speeds dropped on Day 3 of the Manchester Test. The Indian cricket team management and fans were left sweating as Bumrah went off the field in the second session and returned only close to coming on to bowl, Bumrah seemed to be favouring his left ankle a lot and lacked rhythm with the ball in the third session. He did take a wicket in the end of Jamie Smith and ended Day 3 with figures of one for 95 in 28 overs. Like Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj also seemed to be struggling with a niggle but was able to shake it off and continue at the press conference after Day 3, Morkel said that Bumrah rolled his ankles doing down the stairs and Siraj also did the same on one of the footholes. Morkel said that both men seem to be ok at the moment. | Manchester Test Day 3 Scorecard | "Yeah, unfortunately, when we took the second new ball, Bumrah rolled his ankles going down the stairs, and then Siraj also I think rolled his foot in one of the footholes. But they, they seem to be OK."Indian pacers and their dropping speedsOne of the surprising things to see on Day 3 was the Indian pacers lacking some energy and bowling at slower speeds than their usual ones. Bumrah, who consistently bowls above the 140 kph mark, was in the 120 to 130 range at times. Anshul Kamboj, was also in the lower 120s on Friday, raising concerns about the fitness of the Read: 4th Test: Wheels come off for India in Manchester as Joe Root rewrites recordsMorkel said that the team management is trying to wrap their heads around the issue and admitted that on a flat track, the bowlers need to have some energy behind the ball to create chances. The Indian bowling coach feels that the workload of the bowlers and the outfield being a bit heavier may have been reasons for the drop in pace."That's something that we're definitely also trying to get our heads around. On a surface where it gets a little bit flatter, you need a little bit of energy behind the ball, and I think, you know, that's definitely one of the factors for us so far in our bowling innings is just getting that little bit of extra zip off the wicket to create the opportunities for caught behind and LBW. But yeah, to look at the workloads of the guys like Siraj and those sort of guys. They've had heavy workloads. For Anshul, it's his first Test match so far and it's important for us that we want to grow and develop a nice fast bowling unit."advertisement"So not to judge on that. I think it is also a heavier sort of outfield. But in terms of commitment and effort that the guys have put in, I don't think we can fault that. But it's just that, you know, that's a good point you made. You needed a little bit of energy on the ball on, on good surfaces where the ball at times is not doing as much," said ended Day 3 on 544 for 7, with a 186-run lead over India.- EndsTune InMust Watch
