The India captain was seen doing Russian twists and planks. Both Rohit and Nayar came through Mumbai's youth ranks and the latter has been training Rohit for quite some time.


Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma is not very popular among fitness enthusiasts as the 37-year-old is not one of those hardcore sportsman with ripped body and exceptional athletic abilities. However, the right-hand batsman is one of the greatest white ball cricketers of this generation having amassed more than ten thousand runs in ODIs, while being the only batter to score three double centuries in the 50 over format.

Rohit relies more on skill than fitness and he has been successful with his mantra. However, he is not getting any younger at 37, and in order to extend his international career to couple more years, the Mumbaikar needs to take more care of his body. And he knows that more than anyone else. 

Recently, Rohit was spotted training in a park under the watchful eyes of India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar. The India captain was seen doing Russian twists and planks. Both Rohit and Nayar came through Mumbai's youth ranks and the latter has been training five-time IPL champion for quite some time. Nayar, recently joined the Indian support staff as an assistant coach last month following Gautam Gambhir's appointment as head coach.
