After the unfortunate loss to Australia at the 2023 World Cup final in Ahmedabad, Rohit had been on a break from the field. He missed both the T20I series against Australia during this hiatus and the initial white-ball matches of the South Africa tour. Rohit spent quality time with his family, vacationing in the UK after months of intense cricket to rejuvenate.
