On the speculation of retirement, captain Rohit said

Team India's champion captain Rohit Sharma said on the future plan that let's see now, what is going on will go on. Along with this, Rohit further said about his innings that I did not do anything different today. It was necessary to score runs in the powerplay because later the pitch becomes slow and the fielding opens up. Today I changed my game after 10 overs because I had to play long. When you score some runs and win, then you feel happy. We had scored a lot of runs in 2019, we did not win, then we did not get so much happiness.
