Rohit Sharma confirmed that he is not retiring and will continue playing ODIs for India after leading the team to a memorable ICC Champions Trophy 2025 triumph. Rohit steered clear of the topic for the entire press conference, but just as he was about to leave the chair, the India captain ended ‘retirement’ speculations once and for all.
“One more thing. I am not going to retire from this format. Just to make sure there are no rumours spread moving forward. Thank you so much,” Rohit said.
The decision isn’t exactly a shocker. Despite rumours circulating that March 9, 2025 was Rohit’s last as an active Indian cricketer, retirement is still some time away for the 38-year-old. Speculations about his future first emerged during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, when Rohit dropped himself from the Playing XI ahead of the Sydney Test. It was reported that Rohit’s retirement is only a matter of time as early as the end of the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne. Still, here we are… three months later, with Rohit showing his eagerness to carry on.
