Meanwhile, the Nagpur-born cricketer will return to action for India during the three-Test series against New Zealand at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, beginning on October 16. The Men in Blue began their home season against Bangladesh, winning the series comprehensively against them 2-0.
The selectors are likely to retain the same squad that defeated Bangladesh as the hosts target a 3-0 sweep over the Black Caps. Rohit and co. are also at the top of the World Test Championship (WTC) table as they aim to play in the final for the third consecutive time.
India lost the first two finals to New Zealand and Australia and will be keen not to let the chance slip if they make it next year.
