A big thing beyond the final of the Champions Trophy 2025 was whether India’s Stalwarts Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli would retire from ODI cricket after the game. As it has been revealed, India’s captain Rohit Sharma has addressed that he is not retiring from ODI cricket. The 37 -year -old extended India from the front in the final, knocked 76 and established the stage for victory. In a video shared on social media after the victory, Rohit Kohli can be seen telling that he does not intend to retire among his ceremonies.
,Brother, we are some retired, I am a Rahin, they have a leg, (Brother, I am not retiring. These people think), “Rohit can be heard telling Kohli in Hindi, because both of them shared a laugh.

Rohit’s appearance and leadership has been under immense investigation since India’s Test series double-vaimi loses against New Zealand (0-3 at home) and Australia (1-3 away from home). However, when it comes to OD cricket, Rohit has led India defectively, while on the way is also looking for form with bat.
Under Rohit’s leadership, India has now won 15 of its last 16 ODI games in major ICC events, with the only defeat in the 2023 World Cup final.
“I am not going to retire from this format. Just to ensure that no rumors are moving forward,” Rohit clarified at the end of the post -match press conference.
India enjoyed a major Champions Trophy 2025 campaign that outlines every aspect to them. Even in the final against New Zealand, a target of 252 never looked out of reach and Captain Rohit played a big role in ensuring that.
Rohit started an ideal fierce India, slammed a half -century inside the powerplay and took India to a total of 64 in the first 10 overs. Rohit’s innings finally scored 76 runs from 83 balls.
Throughout the tournament, Rohit scored 180 runs in five matches. He claimed a strike rate of 100 compared to any other batsman in the top six of Team India.
Under Rohit, India won 8 Odis on Trott in 2025. The beginning of England’s 3–0 clinical demolition at home ahead of the Champions Trophy ended with donating prestigious white jackets with Indian players.
While Rohit has clarified his intentions of not retiring from ODI cricket, it can still be seen whether the test has been taken the same stance for the test cricket. India’s next assignment comes after IPL 2025, when he visits England for a five -match Test series.
