Rohit Sharma Dismisses Retirement Rumors After India's Historic Triumph
Will the captain retire after a legendary final victory?
Rohit Sharma has put an end to speculation about his retirement following India's victory over New Zealand in the Champions Trophy 2025 final. In the lead-up to the match, rumors swirled about his potential exit from ODIs, especially with his 38th birthday just two months away. However, during the post-match press conference, he made it clear that he has no plans to retire.
In the final, Rohit played a decisive role, scoring 76 off 83 balls, including seven fours and three sixes. It was his first-ever half-century in an ICC final and his best performance in an ODI final, surpassing his previous record of 66 runs. He now joins an elite group of captains who have scored 50+ runs in a Champions Trophy final.
