Delhi: The final match of ICC Champions Trophy 2025 (ICC Champions Trophy) is being played between India and New Zealand at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on today (March 9). Before this important match, discussions are intensified that Rohit Sharma can announce retirement after the final.
However, on this issue, former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly has supported Rohit and dismissed the speculation of retirement and questioned why this discussion is being held.
Ganguly said in a conversation with India Today, “Why are there talk of Rohit Sharma’s retirement? Why is this question arising? He has won India in the T20 World Cup a few months ago. I don’t know what the thinking of the selectors is, but Rohit is performing brilliantly. The Indian team is much better than New Zealand. India played the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup, won the T20 World Cup in 2024 and has been invincible in this Champions Trophy so far. I don’t think there will be any change in the team. “
On India’s possibilities in the final match, Ganguly said, “India is the biggest contender for this match. The entire team is in excellent form. Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul are all in great rhythms and are eager to perform well. This will be an exciting match. “
He further said, “India’s bowling is also very strong. However, anything can happen in cricket. Any team can win and anyone can lose. “
