]]>Rohit, who made a memorable return to form with a well-crafted century in the final ODI in Sydney, posted an image of himself entering the departure area at Sydney Airport. The caption read: “One last time, signing off from Sydney,” which immediately sparked rumors that he may have played his final match for India on Australian soil.
This post comes at a time when questions about the 38-year-old’s international career have been growing. Despite his stellar performance in the series, including a gritty 73 off 97 balls in the second ODI, Rohit has already retired from both Test cricket and T20Is. After leading India to victory in the 2024 T20 World Cup, he called it quits in the shortest format and stepped away from Test cricket earlier this year.
Currently, ODI cricket remains his only active format, and with no upcoming ODI series scheduled in Australia for the next two years, it seems unlikely that the Mumbaikar will return to the country in Indian colors.
Having accumulated 11,370 ODI runs in 268 innings, Rohit’s career in Australia dates back to the 2007-08 CB Series, making his potential departure from the Australian stage all the more poignant for his fans.
As the speculation continues, cricket enthusiasts will be closely watching any further developments in Rohit Sharma’s career.

]]>In ODIs and T20Is, a highlight package comprising Rohit will show the batsman playing all types of glorious shots – the flamboyant drives and the big hoicks, but in Test cricket, as per the situation, Rohit appears sedate in his approach, curbing his natural attacking instincts as per the need of the team.
That’s what Rohit has done so far in the six innings he’s played in England on this tour. He got a couple of 30s at the World Test Championship final and followed it with another 36 in the first Test against England at Nottingham. At Lord’s however, Rohit played a fine knock of 83, his highest Test score overseas. Rohit had the opportunity to go up on the Lord’s Honours Board but was castled by James Anderson. The India opener, while speaking to Dinesh Karthik, said that while he was disappointed to miss out on the three-figure mark, there wasn’t much he could do to that brilliant delivery from Anderson.
“I am a little disappointed not to get to that three-figure mark but again, I saw the replay probably 20 times and I couldn’t have done anything to that ball. What matters is the position the team is in because it’s not about individuals. Your personal records can take a backseat but this is a team sport. Anything you do and it helps the team, I am happy with it,” Rohit said.
Rohit further stated that he liked batting the way he did, especially in the last few innings – taking a more cautious and circumspect approach, and although it’s against his nature, the India opener relishes the challenge of batting in the arduous Test cricket.
That’s Test cricket, you can’t bring out your flashy drives especially when the weather conditions are like that. You need to understand that and the experience that I have, I need to apply that. It was testing in the middle so all your basics of Test cricket come into play, things like playing with soft hands and leaving balls outside off. It is against my nature but I loved it. Honestly speaking, I loved doing that,” Rohit added.

World Test Championship Final : Former India Batsman Dilip Vengsarkar said a lack of match practice ahead of the final against New Zealand may hurt even the best players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
Team India reached England on Thursday and headed into a three day quarantine in Southampton, the venue for the match that is from June 18.
Vengsarkar said that Kohli and Rohit are in very good form but lack of competitive time in the middle might affect their performance atleast in the tour opening WTC final.
Vengsarkar the former chairman of selectors , told PTI on Sunday : Well he (Kohli) has been around for a long time. He is one of the best batsman in world cricket at the moment. Players like Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma , they are world class players, they take a lot of pride in their performance and pride in winning matches for India.”
“India is a better team and in good form. The advantage with New Zealand , it is a low profile team, the thing is that they are getting to play two Test matches before the Test match (WTC final), said Vengsarkar.
He further added “It is a good thing and both are in a very good form. But having said that , I think lack of match practice may hurt them in the first Test match that is what I feel.”
