I want my team to do well. I want India to win the CT, and the selectors then dropping both of them. 😝 😝

He'll be 38 this April. Even Brian Lara and Glenn McGrath retired at the age of 38 and 37 respectively.

How long does he want to play? Until his blind fans give up hope on him as well?

Rohit has no real fans like MSD or Kohli have. Mostly artificial social media fans who create an illusion Rohit has great following. They randomly click an image where some paid guy holding the Rohit sharma photo and spam the internet with that.

^^ Both things cant happen, only one of em can. Either india wins and rohit + kohli stay

or

india loses and bye bye rohit and kohli.

Or

India loses and kohli and rohit stay 🤣🤣, this is the only scenario where both things occur.

If they don't retire after most shameless displays by a captain and a superstar player, what various chances of them retiring after winning a tournament?.they are leeches and wants to destroy the team at the cost of young talented players like jaiswal,jurel ,Padikkal etc
 
One thing I'd like to say is that I admire and appreciate both Rohit and Kohli for all that they have done for Indian cricket. But overstaying your welcome is never appreciated by anyone bar some blind fans.

Kind of hypocritical for me to say that since 2 of my cricketing heroes in Viv and Sachin overstayed their welcome by 3 and 2 years respectively. Ponting went downhill since 2007 till his retirement when his Test average dropped from almost 60 to below 52, and CA still kept persisting with him.

But honestly speaking, I'm proud of Sunny Gavaskar because he walked the talk when he retired while he was still on top. It was him who said, ' Retire when people ask why, rather than why not'.​

Wasn't he the reason India got to WC23 Final and won WT20 2024? No Indian captain since Dhoni has managed to done that.

It is tragic that Rohit gets so much hate from arrogant Indian fans.

Rohit carried India from 2012 till 2023. Surprised that a legend like him gets disrespected like this.

Tbf rohit deserves some critiscm. He's refusing to step down despite being done and dusted and their literally no reason from him not to step down.

He has no records to break or achieve? Captaincy wise he won a trophy. The only reason I can think of is that he was originally going to retire in 2023 but Travis head robbed him off that

So he probs wants to win a CT and wc 2027 before retiring. Their legit reports that both kohli and rohit want to go till 2027.

I don't think that will be on their mind. After 2017 one guy is 1000 crores richer other one 500 crore richer. THey just have to play for the team as long as possible so that their sponsors will be happy they can accumulate more wealth. Rohit had the easiest of the easiest chance to win a world cup. He botched it. In current form they will struggle to get past first round let alone winning CT.
 
Only one of Kohli or Rohit should be in the ODI squad for CT.

I would prefer Kohli in the middle to provide some senior mentor style support for youngsters over Rohit who I feel is really blocking younger and better batsman than him at his age.

India also need to get in Samson and play him in place of KL Rahul. Sanju should open in place of Rohit along with Jaiswal.

Your argument is that money has made them forget about their desires to win an ODI ICC Trophy?
Click to expand...
It is not argument. It is the fact. They prolong their career to accumulate more money rather than winning trophy. Why would you go to great lengths to hire social media PR , influence celebrities to act as your PR unless you are in it for money? He just has to be with the team. He had a fantastic team at his disposal to win trophies. Yet he could not win. Even his team selections were mainly influenced by IPL. SKY is probably not even the top 25 batsmen in India to play ODIs. Yet Rohit backed him for world cup despite scoring 3 ducks in a row in one of the ODI series. Everything is business for them. If India is purely selected on merit they will be looking at more trophies. KL Rahul at a smaller level does the same. He has his own PR team. Unlike Rohit who mostly has fake fanbase, Kohli has genuine fanbase which makes it harder for selectors to remove him.You can boil everything down to money.

Rohit PR team on social Media's . They are bunch of idiots.

I wanna slapped them very hard so they can wake-up from their dreams and accept the reality and reality is Rohit is finsihed.

Pr is nothing but investment on high risk stocks. He wants extreme returns and rip it off.worst of all sky was picked for wtc finals as a reserve. Any captain wishing for team will take a young player and make him ready.jaiswal, sai, sarfaraz etc were there and happy to ignore them.He and dravid made sure there was no viable dependable option at 5 apart from kl with sky and iyer choices.everything revolves around Mumbai and never made a sincere effort. Any guy with self respect may have resigned after nz test series. No one with any ounce of self respect will backtrack in Sydney after self drop/embarrassing removal.

There was a period where he used Kishan as India's opener for prolonged period right before IPL. He was using Indian team to give practice to Kishan as opener. This guy doesn't care about team winning as he likes us to believe.

He proudly said he is responsible for each and every odi wc squad selection but doesn't want to bear the responsibility of sky's selection blunder. He never takes any responsibility and never talks about it after a loss .
 
Rohit is certainly finished... I had hopes from him that he might come good in CT but looks like he is nowhere near a player he was in the World Cup.

Rohit has captained team like three times in major events. Won the 2023 Asia Cup, won WT20 2024 and got the team unbeaten in the final of 2023 WC. That's pretty darn impressive record and not nothing.

He did won the team trophies. He even made Kohli open WT20 and started playing risky cricket up top for team's sake.

He knows that once he is retired he won't be able to have a claim to any more trophies or titles.

India have most trophies in past 2-3 decades after Australia. That's a good record to be fair. Australia have been an absolute powerhouse in Cricket.

Rohit has done a fantastic job as captain thus far. Maybe you guys don't remember the gloomy days when Kohli was captain.

India has been doing well in world cups since 2011. 2015 topped the group, 2019 topped the group, 2023 topped the group. CT 2017 reached the final. India has been consistent for a while. THey faltered only at the end. 2023 probably the strongest ODI team a captain can have. He failed against a struggling Aussies with his team selections, squad selections. onfield strategies. HE did hte same mistakes in 2024. LUckily Indian bowlers stepped up at the right time.

2015 crashed out to Australia in Semis.
2017 crashed out to Pakistan in Final.
2019 crashed out to New Zealand in Semis.
2021 got wrecked in Group stage.
2022 crashed out to England in Semis.

Yea I wouldn't call that "doing well".

How is it not doing wlel topping the group? THey failed in one off encounters. . T20,2021 once again Rohit failed , 2022 again Rohit failed. So not sure what Rohit achieved here. Winning Asia cup is no big deal. Only 3 half decent teams play that.

It's fine if getting knocked out to Semis is good enough or doing well in your book.

I expected better standards from an Indian fan to be honest though.
 
Ravi Ashwin while speaking on his YouTube channel:

"This is not easy. If you look at it from Rohit's POV, then obviously, it is frustrating for him. He wants to concentrate on the series. He thinks that I've done well in this format and I'd like to continue. I'm going into the tournament with a lot of confidence on the back of the one-day tournaments that I've played."

"But people will ask questions. The ones who are watching will obviously ask. It's a catch-22 situation. You can't stop these questions. When will they stop? When he performs."
 
India's batting coach, Sitanshu Kotak, ahead of the 2nd ODI against England:

"I don't think there is any problem with Rohit. Yes, he had a problem in Australia. He has done well even before the first match in this format. No one will talk about when will he fail when he does well."
 
Rohit Sharma lost his temper at pacer Harshit Rana after his mistake cost India four runs in the 2nd ODI. The incident occurred in the 32nd over while Rana was bowling to Jos Buttler. On the fifth delivery, Buttler defended the ball back to Rana, who picked it up and unnecessarily threw it at the stumps. The ball missed the target and raced past KL Rahul to the boundary, leaving Rohit visibly frustrated.

32nd ODI hundred for Rohit Sharma in 2nd ODI against England

Gets there off only 76 deliveries. His 3rd against England, 14th in India and 16th in the 2nd innings.
 
32nd century for the Hitman tonight.

Looks like the ODI run might continue and if he plays like that no one should be complaining.
 
Hitman's flame is ignited bright for one last time. Hope it lasts whole CT.


Don't go gentle, Rohit!
 
Rohit PR in full flow currently on Social media.

Suddenly there are talks of him even going to the 2027 WC. :facepalm:

Fan armies and bot brigades of Rohit and Kohli have absolutely destroyed the team culture and selection dynamics. Dangerous signs ahead of budding young cricketers in this country.
 
Sharma as usual filling his boots in a meaningless ODI at home vs a halwa attack which did not even have Archer. He is one of the more likeable Indian players but vastly overrated. Good innings here though.
 
Rohit Sharma via a video posted by BCCI:

"This is what I am talking about. I mean, look, when people have played for a number of years and scored so many runs over the years… that means something.”

"I've played this game for a long time now and I understand what is required of me. So it's just about going out there and doing your things and this was, what I did today was, one of my things."

"In my mind, it was just about doing things that I do, try and bat the way I do. I've been here long enough... one or two knocks is not going to change my mind. But (it was) just another day in the office."

"We need to do our job, okay? Our job is to go out there and play the game. As long as you go there and you know that today when you go to bed, you know that you've given your best, that is what matters."

"Every time I walk onto the pitch, walk on to play the game, I want to try and do well. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it may not happen. As long as I am clear what I want to do, that's all that matters. Nothing else matters."

One decent knock on a patta against a mediocre bowling attack and this guy is yapping nonstop forgetting all the failures he had in the past 4 months.

The sooner Indian cricket gets rid of such self centred snobs the better.
 
One of the most satisfying hundreds. We all should be happy for the Hitman. After all, he is human too and so much criticism and trolling is not good for anyone.

At the end of the day, he has emotions like everyone else and when he lays on his bed at night and he stares at the ceiling, he too would be feeling low and would be hoping for a better tomorrow like we all do.

We could see the pain in his eyes, and the relief when he scored the hundred. He couldn't properly celebrate either, because it was more relief than joy.

Let's hope that Babar gets one soon as well, and everyone should be happy for him when he does it. You can see the same pain in his eyes than we saw in Rohit's.

It is like injured player suddenly started playing shot. He is permanently unfit. So he resorts to this strategy. In 2022 world T20 he had one of the worst power play strike rate.

If archer was playing Rohit would have scored 200.

He was destroyed in the t20s and is a rubbish bowler. To discredit Rohits innings by bringing him up is hilarious.

Rohit is a weak bowler basher let's face it. Don't bring up one six he hit against someone. In conditions where it swings or seams he's a sitting duck.

Rohit is an ODI atg, no arguments about that.

And the point specifically was that it was funny discrediting his innings because an overrated nobody like Archer wasn’t playing. It’s like saying Phillips’ innings in the last match doesn’t count because Hassan Ali wasn’t playing.

Off course he is a weak bowling basher which is the reason he averages 51 at a SR of 92 against Pakistan. I agree with that statement.

Babar can't dream of hitting a 200 in ODI let alone 250 plus.

The class difference is so funny when you compare the two.

Rohit is at his twilight and his twilight is better than Babar's peak.

Off course you can put your head in mud and consider Babar better.

Actually rohit was Never out of form in White ball cricket .

He is being Criticized for his test cricket form .

He was informed player's in the world cup 2023 than in 2024 world T20 as well .

even we had lost the Alone ODI Series against SL ,he was the Only run scorer from India side.

So apart from 1st ODI , Rohit was Never out of form in limited Overs .
