After the retirement of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from Indian T20 International cricket, now not only Rohit but many experienced players of Team India can announce their retirement from international cricket.
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma
A period of change is rapidly unfolding in Indian cricket . Following the retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from T20 Internationals, young players are increasingly being given opportunities in the ODI and Test teams. Meanwhile, media reports have claimed that Rohit Sharma is not part of the 2027 ODI World Cup plans. Consequently, questions have been raised about his international career. Not just Rohit, many experienced players in Team India are also in the final stages of their careers and could announce their retirements at any time in the future.
Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma's ODI future, having retired from T20 Internationals, is also a topic of discussion. According to recent reports, the selectors are now focusing on building a future team. Consequently, it is believed that Rohit too may soon retire from international cricket.
Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli has already retired from T20 and Test cricket. Although his ODI performances remain strong, the team management is moving towards developing younger players. Consequently, there is constant speculation about his future.
Mohammed Shami
It doesn't seem easy for Mohammed Shami, who is struggling with injuries, to return to Team India. Several young players have already established their claims in the fast bowling department. Therefore, Shami may soon have to make a big decision.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Bhuvneshwar Kumar, once India's most reliable swing bowler, has been out of the national team for a long time. With selectors now placing more trust in younger fast bowlers, his international career is likely to be on hold.
Ravindra Jadeja
Jadeja retired from the shortest format after the 2024 T20 World Cup. Young all-rounders are now increasingly getting opportunities in ODIs and Tests. Therefore, it is believed that Jadeja too may retire from international cricket in the near future.
Ishant Sharma
Veteran fast bowler Ishant Sharma has been out of the Indian team for quite some time. Despite remaining active in domestic cricket, his chances of returning are considered slim. Therefore, it is expected that he too may soon officially end his international career.
