Rohit Sharma has recently stunned fans with a remarkable fitness transformation ahead of his return to international cricket. The India ODI captain is set to play in the upcoming three-match ODI series against Australia in October 2025. This marks his first international appearance since India's Champions Trophy 2025 victory in March. Images of Sharma's leaner physique have gone viral on social media, with the 38-year-old looking fitter than ever.

Sharma recently cleared the pre-season fitness test, along with Shubman Gill, Jasprit Bumrah, and Jitesh Sharma, at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (COE) in Bengaluru. The tests included the standard Yo-Yo test and a DXA scan to test bone density. He might also play for India A against Australia A in three one-day matches in Kanpur in late September and early October.

Sharma's weight loss transformation, reportedly shedding nearly 20 kg, has been making headlines. He also cleared the BCCI's Bronco Test, which involves 1,200 meters of shuttle runs. Reports suggest he completed it in just over five minutes, impressing the coaching staff with his improved stamina. His weight has reportedly dropped from 95 kg to around 75 kg in a few months.

This transformation is attributed to intense cardio and endurance workouts, reportedly guided by fitness professionals and his friend Abhishek Nayar, along with a significant shift in his diet.

Sharma, known for his love of dal chawal, vada pav, butter chicken, seafood curries, and biryani, reportedly had to cut down on carbs, fried snacks, and calorie-rich meals to meet his fitness goals.

A diet chart reportedly followed by Sharma has been circulating on social media. The diet chart includes: * Early Morning: 6 soaked almonds, sprout salad, fresh juice * Breakfast (9:30 AM): Oatmeal with fruits, a glass of milk * Mid-Morning: Chilla with curd and coconut water * Lunch: Vegetable curry, dal, rice, and salad * Evening: Fruit smoothies and dry fruits * Dinner: Paneer with vegetables, soup, or light pulao

Eggs are a good source of protein, with the egg white containing 3.6 grams and the yolk containing 2.7 grams. Eggs also contain vitamins (A, B12, D, E, B5), minerals (iron, phosphorus, selenium, zinc), and other essential nutrients.

To maintain sustained energy levels during long matches, athletes consume complex carbohydrates like brown rice, whole wheat bread, and oats. Healthy fats from almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds are also crucial for brain function, joint health, and stamina.

Sharma's fitness journey demonstrates his commitment to staying healthy and fit.
