thank you, hitman, for the winning performance. A slap to all the critics who questioned his place in ODIs.
Legend, Sharma. Thank you once again!

For me he is the best player in the team and always has been. Scary at the top, can take the game away so quickly and effortlessly. He should retire after WC2027.

'I Am Not Going Anywhere': Rohit Sharma Confirms He's Not Retiring From ODIs
In a major breaking news for Indian cricket, Rohit Sharma has confirmed that he has no plans to retire from ODI cricket after winning the 2025 Champions Trophy.
India beat New Zealand by four wickets at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, making Rohit the first captain since MS Dhoni to win two ICC titles. There was a ton of speculation in the lead-up to the final about the 37-year-old’s future. He already retired from T20Is last year, and the next ICC ODI tournament is the 2027 World Cup, when he’d be close to 40 years of age.
“I am not going to retire from this (ODI) format. Going forward please don’t spread rumours," Rohit said at the post-match press-conference, as quoted by news agency PTI.
“No future plans. Jo ho raha hain, woh chalta jayega (Whatever is happening will keep continuing)," Rohit added.
Rohit had doubts over not just his future but also his present coming into the tournament. He was struggling for runs in Test cricket and couldn’t do anything of note in the group stage.

I agree, what kind of message are we giving to our youngsters when the captain can’t be bothered to maintain his fitness.
At the very least, BCCI should crack the whip on Rohit Sharma & get him to lose weight.

The next ODI World Cup is 2.5 years away. Don't see Rohit playing that. There is little else left for him to achieve.
Maybe he should carry on playing ODIs for another 6-12 months, groom the next captain, KL Rahul or Shubhman Gill are obvious choices for me (give them about 1.5 years to prepare a team before the next World Cup), and then retire from this format.

If rohit won't move, Jaiswal will force him out.its quite simple. Already he is not fit and not able to run.he was huffing to run multiple 2s along with gill ,Others killing few runs .Next wc is not in sub continent to use or abuse pp .he has to see initial few tough overs in pp and score.Subcontinental players don't bother about graceful retirement .

Ponting dissects Rohit’s call to not retire from ODIs after Champions Trophy win
Speaking on the latest episode of The ICC Review, Australia legend Ricky Ponting said the Indian skipper’s decision had deeper implications for Indian cricket.
Having been appointed India’s captain back in 2021 at the age of 34, Rohit Sharma on Sunday clinched his second ICC title - following the ICC Men's T20 World Cup win last year - as India closed an invincible Champions Trophy campaign in Dubai.
Now approaching 38, there were talks around the Indian skipper’s retirement from the ODI format, an act not without precedence, given how Rohit had retired from T20Is after winning the T20 World Cup.
But Rohit quashed them in the press conference following the final win against New Zealand.
“One more thing, I’m not going to retire from this format, just to make sure no more rumours are spread,” Rohit told reporters after a Player-of-the-Match performance.
Speaking with host Crystal Arnold on The ICC Review, former Australia skipper Ponting stated that Rohit is likely to have had a specific goal in mind when he made the announcement.
“When you start getting to that point of your career, everyone's waiting for you to retire,” Ponting said.
“And I don't know why, when you can still play as well as he's played (in the final), I think he was just trying to put those questions to bed once and for all and say, ‘no, I'm still playing well enough. I love playing in this team. I love leading this team.’
“And I think, the fact that he said that, to me, it means that he must have that goal in mind of playing in the next (50-over) World Cup (in 2027).”
India hosted the last Men’s Cricket World Cup, and had an exceptional run under Rohit’s leadership.
However, the side fell at the final stage, having been dealt a six-wicket defeat at the hands of the Pat Cummins-led Australia in the summit clash.
Ponting believes that a sense of unfinished business may have to do with Rohit’s decision to stay in-charge until the 2027 Men’s Cricket World Cup to be held in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia.
“I think probably the fact that they lost the last one and he was captain, that might be the thing that's playing on the back of his mind," Ponting noted.
“Just have one more crack at trying to win the T20 World Cup, the Champions Trophy, and the ODI World Cup.
“I mean when you see him play like he played in the Champions Trophy final, you wouldn't say that his time is up just yet.”

I don't think rohit can survive till next 27 wc(Oct and nov).I see odis are lined up in bng, Aus (25) ,eng, nz( 26).Sa , wi, afg odis in india are in pipeline.i don't think rohit can survive with pp bashing in most places In ct , excluding final innings his avg is 26.He will definitely retire from test matches in eng tour after 1 more round of humiliation.If Jaiswal was given opportunity in place of Gill, it will be pr disaster.
