Since India won the ICC Champions Trophy earlier this year, Rohit has not played for his country. In May, he declared his retirement from Test cricket. There was some worry following his hospital stay earlier this week, but he was able to return after passing a fitness test at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.

On October 19, India will begin a three-match ODI series against Australia in Perth's Optus Stadium.

But for supporters, the resurgence has already started off the field. The excitement and personal support around Rohit's eagerly anticipated return were encapsulated in Ritika's response to the viral video.
