Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, two legendary Indian cricketers, have faced speculation about their future in T20 cricket. After Kohli's retirement from the format, the focus has shifted to Sharma, who has been an integral part of India's T20 journey since 2007.
Sharma's return to T20Is after a break in 2022 was seen as a strategic move to prepare for the 2024 T20 World Cup. However, with the tournament now behind them, the question arises: what's next for Rohit Sharma?
The 2026 T20 World Cup, to be held in India and Sri Lanka, will mark a new era for Indian cricket with a new coach, likely to be Gautam Gambhir. Gambhir may seek to utilize Sharma's experience, but the question remains whether it's wise to retain a 37-year-old player for two more years.
One possibility is that Sharma will continue to be rested in T20Is, allowing him to be available when needed. However, if he decides to retire, he can be proud of his contributions as captain, leading India to numerous victories.
The decision on Sharma's future will depend on several factors, including his fitness, form, and the team's needs. With the next T20 World Cup on the horizon, the Indian cricket board and Gambhir will have to carefully consider the best course of action for the team.
