Can Rohit Sharma retire after Champions Trophy 2025?
This time ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be played under the hosting of Pakistan. Whereas India will play all its matches on the hybrid model. In such a situation, India will have a golden opportunity to take revenge for the year 2017 from the host Pakistan. Pakistan won the title by defeating India in the final of the year 2017.
Rohit can also bring a twist to this story by hitting back. On the other hand, there are also reports on social media that if India succeeds in winning the Champions Trophy under Rohit’s captaincy, then the captain can announce his retirement from the ODI format on a great occasion. Rohit had also said goodbye to the T20 format in a similar style in the T20 World Cup 2024.
These 2 players can become captain and vice-captain
Champions Trophy 2025 will be played in ODI format. If Rohit Sharma announces retirement in this format after winning the trophy, then the big question is who will become the captain in his place? According to sports experts, Suryakumar Yadav is leading India in T20. In such a situation, BCCI can choose Hardik Pandya as the captain in ODIs. He has captained India.
He has captained Gujarat and Mumbai in IPL. Shubman Gill can be chosen as the vice-captain, Gill is also very mature in terms of captaincy. This year he captained India in T20 format in July. He is the captain of the Gujarat team in the IPL. If Pandya-Gill is given this big responsibility in the Indian team, then he can play this role very well.
