By confirming that he has no immediate plans to leave the ODI format, Rohit Sharma has put an end to rumors that he will retire from the game. The Indian captain responded to the rumors by asking everyone to refrain from disseminating such false information in the future.
Additionally, he was very clear that he had no plans to retire from international cricket in the near future. Like any other cricket player, he will carry on with his routine. Veteran cricket player Dinesh Karthik praised Rohit’s lucidity and humour in his statement during the last news conference.
“It essentially captures Rohit Sharma’s personality. It was very funny, but it also conveyed the message, “Don’t be in a hurry to ask for my retirement.” “When I feel like it, I’ll do it,” Karthik posted on Cricbuzz.
Karthik also acknowledged Virat Kohli’s skill and Rohit’s leadership. In addition, he expressed his opinions about Yashasvi Jaiswal, the up-and-coming Indian opener.
“They simply understand what it takes to do effectively in important games. What sets them apart is the way they focus their minds and apply that energy on the field. He’s a legitimate opener. He’s going to perform incredibly well when it’s his moment,” Karthik said.
To stay healthy during the 2027 ODI World Cup, Rohit Sharma will collaborate with Nayar.
Rohit Sharma is reportedly already aiming to continue playing till the 2027 ODI World Cup, which South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia would host. After the event, the Indian captain may say goodbye to international cricket if all goes according to plan. He will be forty years old by then.
Abhishek Nayar, India’s assistant coach and a former teammate, will work with Rohit to maintain his endurance by giving him advice on batting, fitness, and general game strategy. Team India is anticipated to play 27 ODIs between 2025 and the 2027 World Cup, with further games perhaps in the works. These games are meant to help Rohit get ready for the major tournament.
His Test future is also dubious, particularly in light of his subpar showing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Selectors will keep a careful eye on his IPL performance before deciding whether to include him in India’s squad for the June England visit.
“First, let the IPL conclude. A insider informed Cricbuzz, “Only an astrologer can see so far into the future.”
