‘You Will Be Seeing...’: Rohit’s Ultimate Response on His International Retirement From Cricket

It was a sombre moment for Indian Cricket fans after Indian Cricket stalwarts Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, and Rohit Sharma announced their retirement from the T20 Format. The trio of senior players made the revelation public after the ICC Men's T20 World Cup win against South Africa at the Kensington Oval in Barbados. It has led to a lot of speculation over their future in the remaining formats, especially Rohit Sharma, who has been a formidable cricketer lately in the scene of Indian Cricket. Rohit recently assured his status upon the remaining formats: The one-day Internationals and Tests.

Rohit Sharma and most of the senior players have taken time off since winning the trophy at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. He was rested for the recent T20 series against Zimbabwe and is expected to miss the limited-overs tour of Sri Lanka later this month. However, the Indian captain has stated that he will continue to play Test and One-Day International cricket for the foreseeable future following his T20 World Cup victory.

"I just said it. I don't look that far ahead. So clearly, you will be seeing me play at least for a while," the 37-year-old said at an event on Sunday night in Dallas.

Jay Shah, the secretary of the BCCI, had earlier this month stated that Rohit will lead India in both the Champions Trophy in February and March of the next year and the current World Test Championship cycle. It also assures that Rohit will remain in the fray as Team India moves ahead towards the various ICC competitions.

In the 2022 T20 World Cup, Rohit led India, but the eventual winners, England, eliminated the Men in Blue in the semifinals. Under his captaincy, India advanced to the domestic 50-over World Cup final a year later but lost to Australia in the summit match in Ahmedabad. It was pivotal for the Indian Cricket Team to win the T20 World Cup as they are now able to re-assert their dominance in the global circuit of cricket.

After 159 matches and 4231 runs, Rohit finished his career in the T20Is, having amassed five tons and thirty-two half-centuries.
