Earlier on Wednesday, during a practice session, Rohit was seen taking on spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin in the nets. Rohit was seen hitting big shots around the park.
India star batter Virat Kohli also looked a million dollars in the nets, whacking the spinners all over the park.
The former India captain, who has been struggling for runs, was rested for the series against West Indies and Zimbabwe and he will be looking to get back to big scoring form in the continental tournament.
India’s interim head coach for the tournament, VVS Laxman was monitoring the entire action as Kohli looked sharp in the nets.
India will be looking to make a winning start to the campaign when they take on Pakistan on August 28.
Both teams have a weakened bowling attack as India are without Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel, while Pakistan will be missing Shaheen Shah Afridi.
India have won the last two editions of the Asia Cup, and are also the most successful side in the tournament, having triumphed seven times.
