Even though all of the players will be concentrating on the IPL now that the Champions Trophy is finished, fans are still curious about Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s future in the game because they are both nearing the end of their careers.
Following the tournament’s completion, Rohit has now won his second ICC championship as captain and his fourth overall as an international player. In the final match versus New Zealand, he was also named the game’s MVP. The India captain, who had stated that he would not be retiring from 50-over cricket, is reportedly considering staying healthy until the 2027 World Cup and still wants to play Test cricket, according to recent reports from Cricbuzz. In order to keep the game sustainable, the 37-year-old legend is working harder with coach and former Mumbai teammate Abhishek Nayar, according to the article.
Although Rohit Sharma ability to play the game is undeniable, his recent performances have been erratic.
Rohit Sharma did not perform at his fluid best in the Champions Trophy, as he was unable to score some significant runs before to the championship game. At an average of 36, he was only able to score 180 runs in five games. Regarding his Test career, he was last seen playing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where he ended up being the captain with the lowest average while touring Australia due to a dismal performance. It appears that he may wish to move past these errors and return to his peak in the forthcoming games and competitions.
Regarding India’s post-IPL itinerary, the team will go to England for a five-match Test series. Since Rahul Dravid’s team hasn’t defeated England at home since 2007, this is another difficult series. India’s most recent series against England finished in a 2-2 tie in 2021.
