Champions Trophy 2025: The bugle of Champions Trophy has been blown. The first match will be played between New Zealand and host Pakistan in Lahore. India will start its campaign tomorrow i.e. on 20 February by playing a match against Bangladesh. This ICC event of Team India is very special. First of all, winning the second ICC trophy in 8 months. Secondly, this is the last ICC event for a player. He is going to be seen playing the tournament in the Indian jersey for the last time. Now let us know who this player is.
This player of Team India will retire after Champions Trophy 2025
The Champions Trophy (Champions Trophy 2025) is the last event of the ODI format. After this, the big event of this format will be held in the form of the ODI World Cup in 2027. Now BCCI will prepare a new team for the tournament. Because there are many senior players in the Indian team, who are in their final stage. These include the names of players like captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja.
There is every possibility that all these three players may not play in the ODI World Cup to be held in 2027. This possibility is especially high for Rohit Sharma. Because in terms of age, he is currently 37 years old and after 2 years he will be 39 years old. In such a situation, his fitness may be affected by then.
Rohit Sharma will retire
Eyesight is also affected due to aging, which makes it difficult to judge the speed and swing of the ball. This is the reason why it is difficult for anyone else to play in the 2027 World Cup. But it is difficult for Rohit Sharma to play in terms of fitness and age, so there is every possibility that Rohit will announce retirement after the Champions Trophy 2025. Whether his performance is good or bad in this tournament of 8 teams, there is every possibility that he will say goodbye to his ODI career after T20.
My international career has been like this so far
Rohit Sharma has played 268 matches in his ODI career and scored 10988 runs at an average of 49. He has scored 32 centuries and 57 half-centuries so far.
