Despite not playing cricket since the IPL, Indian ODI skipper Rohit Sharma is rumored to be making a comeback for the India A ODI series in late September. According to Rohit, these games are crucial for getting ready for the Australia journey. Rohit Sharma will play in three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) at Kanpur’s Green Park International Stadium on September 30, October 3, and October 5, according to a report by Revsportz. Following this, he must lead India for a three-match ODI series against Australia from October 19 to 25.
Increasing retirement rumors
The future of Rohit Sharma abroad is still up in the air. He may soon retire from all forms of cricket at the age of 38, according to recent rumors and conjecture. He is not expected to play for Team India in the 2027 ODI World Cup in South Africa. The Indian team will have to choose a new opener and skipper in such a scenario.
Will the tour of Australia be the final one?
According to a report from Revsportz, Rohit Sharma may play his final international match during this three-match tour of Australia. Additionally, there are rumors that he will shortly bid ODI cricket farewell. This series is seen to be crucial for his future in such circumstances.
India’s ‘Post-Rohit’ strategy
One of India’s most successful batters, Rohit Sharma, has been opening for the nation in One-Day Internationals for over ten years. However, his chances of playing in the ODI format are also dwindling now that he has withdrawn from Test and T20 cricket. Yashasvi Jaiswal is seen as the front-runner for the opening position, while Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill are in the spotlight as captaincy contenders.
Expectations of fans
Rohit Sharma should play for India A to regain his rhythm, according to Indian fans. Everyone is hoping that he has a grand finale to his illustrious career, even though he might not be in the squad until the next World Cup.
