Rohit Sharma’s declaration after the Champions Trophy 2025 brought relief to fans: “I am not going to retire from this format. Just to make sure no rumours are spread moving forward. Koi future plan hai nahi, jo chal raha hai chalega (there is no future plan, whatever is going on will continue as it is).” This statement instantly went viral.
A Step-by-step Career Approach:
In an interview on Jio Hotstar, Rohit elaborated, “Right now, I am taking things as they come. It wouldn’t be fair for me to think too far ahead. At this moment, my focus is on playing well and maintaining the right mindset.”
What’s Next for Rohit?
A Cricbuzz report claims Rohit plans to extend his career until the 2027 World Cup, set to be hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. Post this event, he might consider stepping away from international cricket.
- Age Factor: Rohit will be 38 in two months and 40 by the 2027 World Cup.
- Collaboration with Abhishek Nayar: The Indian team’s assistant coach will work with Rohit on fitness, batting, and approach.
- 27 Scheduled ODIs: Serving as preparation for the grand event.
Test Format Uncertainty:
While Rohit is committed to ODIs, his Border Gavaskar Trophy performance was underwhelming. His IPL 2025 performance will likely influence his selection for the India Tour of England in June.
The Final Word:
Rohit has retired from T20Is but remains dedicated to excelling in ODIs and Tests, keeping fans hopeful for more cricketing brilliance.
