Gave a worthy answer with a bat at Lord’s
Before the third ODI was played against England at Lord’s, there were reports that this could be Rohit’s last ODI for India. At the time, he struggled to turn his good start into a big goal. But Rohit responded to the critics in his own style. Rohit played a brilliant 138-run century in Lord’s ODI. Although India lost the match, Rohit’s century answered many questions.

What did Rohit say about the retirement rumors?
Will Rohit Sharma now play in the 2027 ODI World Cup or not? This issue is widely discussed. In an interview with BCCI, Rohit said about his form and retirement that my job is to bat and play for the country. Since debut, there has always been external noise. As long as I play, it will remain. I’m only focused on my contribution on the field. If there is no noise, there will be no fun.
