Rohit Sharma ODI retirement : The news of Rohit Sharma’s retirement from One Day International cricket is spreading like wildfire in the cricket world. Actually, a three-match ODI series is being played between India and England. The last match of this series is at Lord’s. This match is being said to be the last match of Rohit’s career. Now former Indian cricketers are giving their opinions in different ways on the news of Rohit’s retirement. In this episode, Krishnamachari Srikanth, Akash Chopra and Irfan Pathan have given a big statement. Let us know about what he has said.

Srikanth said a big thing on Rohit Sharma’s retirement

Krishnamachari Srikkanth said, ‘Excluding Rohit Sharma would be the biggest mistake of the Indian management. Remember my words, India will have to pay the price for this in the 2027 ODI World Cup. I know his record in South Africa is pretty average, but how can you replace his experience, his class, his skills? How many matches has Yashasvi Jaiswal played in South Africa? The team management has completely insulted the legend and it would be a big problem to throw out a legend like him. You don’t know what you’re doing right now’.

Aakash Chopra’s big statement on Rohit Sharma’s retirement

Aakash Chopra said, ‘Every great journey has a last chapter. If this is really Rohit Sharma’s last ODI match, then I hope he departs with a century. Very few players get the chance to bid farewell at a venue as famous as Lord’s, and this would be a fitting end to an illustrious career.

Chopra further said, ‘Rohit Sharma realized that he needed to look fit and he could not be a burden on the field. That’s why he came with good fitness. He has changed his playing style. There was a time when he used to score 50 runs in the powerplay alone. If you see yesterday’s match, he was out after scoring 26 runs in the 18th over. We have never seen Rohit playing like this.

Irfan Pathan spoke on Rohit’s batting

Irfan Pathan said, ‘Rohit Sharma has not batted like himself in this entire series. It seems that the atmosphere in the dressing room is affecting him. The team management is putting unnecessary pressure on him in every match and he is not able to perform in such an environment. Because of this insecurity he has fallen down. Coach Gautam Gambhir will have to ensure that the players feel safe under his leadership.
