Team India emerged victorious in the Champions Trophy, securing a remarkable victory in the final and establishing themselves as the true champions of the tournament. There were widespread rumors suggesting that both captain Rohit Sharma and star player Virat Kohli might announce their retirement after the Champions Trophy. However, Rohit Sharma has put an end to such speculation.
Speaking at a press conference after the match, Rohit clarified his stance on retirement. He firmly stated, “I am not going to retire from this format. I just want to ensure that no rumors are spread. Moving forward. Thank you.” This declaration has brought clarity to the situation.
Rohit Sharma, who had previously announced his retirement from T20 cricket, reiterated that he would continue playing in this format and is now focusing on his long-term goal of competing in the 2027 World Cup.
Virat Kohli, on the other hand, delivered exceptional performances throughout the Champions Trophy, although he did not perform as expected in the final match. With his good form continuing, Kohli is said to be determined to continue his cricketing career and has no intention of retiring at this point.
