India captain Rohit Sharma has put an end to speculation about his retirement from ODI cricket, making it clear that he is keeping all options open for the 2027 World Cup.
A day after leading India to victory in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the veteran batter dismissed reports of him stepping away from the 50-over format, stating that he would assess his form and fitness before making any decisions about his future.
“It’s very hard to say that right now, but I’m keeping all my options open. I want to see how well I’m playing,” Rohit Sharma said when asked about his participation in the 2027 ODI World Cup.
“Right now, I’m playing really, really well, and I’m enjoying everything I’m doing with this team. The team is enjoying my company as well, which is nice.
“I can’t really say about 2027 because it’s too far, but I’m keeping all my options open.”
Following India’s Champions Trophy triumph, Rohit was quick to shut down rumors of an imminent retirement, reiterating his passion for the game and commitment to the team.
“As long as I’m enjoying the sport, as long as I’m happy playing and contributing to this team, I will continue. There’s a lot of pride involved, and with the way this team is performing, I don’t want to leave just yet,” he said.
