Dinesh Lad's big statement on Rohit Sharma

Dinesh Lad has rejected the rumors of Rohit Sharma's retirement. While talking to Dainik Jagran, Dinesh Lad said on Rohit's retirement, 'I am not saying that Rohit Sharma will announce his retirement after the World Test Championship, perhaps he can do so. Because as his age is increasing, it seems that he may retire from Tests. The reason for this could also be that he wants to keep himself absolutely fit for ODI cricket. However, I promise that Rohit Sharma will play the 2027 ODI World Cup. The kind of cricket Rohit is playing is incredible.

Will Rohit play 2027 ODI World Cup?

Last year, Team India had performed brilliantly under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. Team India had won 10 consecutive matches in the tournament, but remained one win away from the title. However, captain Rohit Sharma had scored 597 runs in 11 matches at an average of 54.27. At the same time, the next edition of the ODI World Cup is to be played after 3 years i.e. in 2027. According to this, Rohit will be 39 years old by the next World Cup. If the tournament is played only between September and November, then he will be 40 years old. In such a situation, if Rohit wants to play the 2027 World Cup, he will have to work a lot on his fitness.

Talking about the defeat in the 2023 final, Dinesh Lad said, 'Rohit became nervous after the defeat in the final, but he had to play for the country. You must have seen that he always wanted to play for his country. Remain prepared. He has to play for the country in future also.
