Indian skipper Rohit Sharma will be next seen in action for the upcoming three-match ODI series against the Sri Lankan national cricket team, starting on January 10.

He was last seen donning the Indian outfit during the second Test match against Bangladesh in Mirpur when he scored a quickfire 50 off 27 balls with a dislocated thumb and nearly pulled off one of the greatest-ever ODI wins for India.
