Delhi: Discussions have started once again about the retirement of Indian cricket team’s leading batsmen Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Both of them retired from T20 format after winning the T20 World Cup last year, and now the speculation of retirement has intensified from their ODI format. Former cricketer Akash Chopra has given his opinion on this. He believes that this decision is personal to the players, but if they retired, it will not be the reason for the dispute.
What will happen after the Champions Trophy final?
The final match of the Champions Trophy 2025 will be played between India and New Zealand in Dubai on 9 March. According to media reports, after the final, Rohit and Kohli may appear for the last time in 50 overs cricket. Both of them retired from T20 format after winning the T20 World Cup. Therefore, some people believe that after the Champions Trophy final, both of them can also retire from ODI format.
Akash Chopra’s opinion
Akash Chopra, while speaking on this matter, said, “It all depends on him completely.” If I really, this decision will not be easy. In 2025, Kohli’s performance has been excellent with the bat, while Rohit’s performance has been average. However, he can score a century in the final and change everything. When I was asked if they would retire, I said I do not know. After the T20 World Cup, taking his retirement used to take a logical step, but if both of them leave ODI and T20, then they only have Test cricket left. Will they go on that path? It is difficult to say. “
