Champions Trophy 2025: The countdown has begun for the Champions Trophy starting on February 19 in Pakistan. The players of the Indian team have also started preparing for the ICC tournament. Team India captain Rohit Sharma is struggling with poor form these days. For the last few months, runs are not coming from his bat and he is directly on the target of critics. He can answer all the questions raised on him by making a blast with the bat in the Champions Trophy, but if this does not happen, will Rohit Sharma’s career end after the Champions Trophy?
Last chance for Rohit Sharma!
A big update is coming out about Team India captain Rohit Sharma. According to reports, BCCI and team management have asked Rohit Sharma to tell his future career plans after Champions Trophy 2025. According to the Times of India report, the selectors want to prepare for the World Cup to be held in 2027 and they are also looking for captaincy options for this.
Rohit got a hint in the last meeting
According to a BCCI source, things were made clear to Rohit Sharma in the last meeting. He said, “The selectors and the board discussed this with Rohit during the last selection meeting. He has been told that he has to decide how he wants to plan his future after the Champions Trophy. The team management has some plans for the next World Test Championship (WTC) cycle and the ODI World Cup. They want to make sure that everyone is on the same page so that the change can happen smoothly.”
Bad form became a problem for Rohit
Veteran batter is going through a bad phase with the bat these days. His bat has been completely silent since winning the T20 World Cup 2024. Rohit looked completely flopped against New Zealand, Bangladesh and then Australia. On the tour of Australia, Rohit Sharma was able to score only 31 runs in 5 innings.
With this, it seems difficult for him to play in the World Cup to be held in the year 2027. Rohit, who is 38 years old, will be 40 by the next World Cup. In such a situation, maintaining both fitness and form can prove to be a tough challenge for him. If his performance in the Champions Trophy is disappointing, then it is possible that he may announce his retirement.
