IND vs NZ, Champions Trophy 2025 Final: Will Rohit Sharma Retire If Team India Lose In Dubai? Here's What Report Says

Team India skipper Rohit Sharma's future as captain had been a massive point of debate after their poor performance in the recent Test series in Australia, with the captain himself registering only 31 runs in three matches. With Rohit nearing 38, a report has stunningly claimed that he might retire if the Men in Blue lose the Champions Trophy 2025 final on Sunday.

The right-handed batter has achieved a rare feat of taking Team India to the final of every ICC tournament, ranging from the World Test Championship (WTC) decider to the Champions Trophy 2025 final. Although the Men in Blue lost the WTC and the 50-over World Cup final, the Asian Giants won the T20 World Cup last year in the West Indies. With Rohit being on the wrong side of the 30s, he will want to retire with another ICC trophy under his belt.

Nevertheless, a report by Dainik Jagran says the veteran will call it quits if the national team loses. Rohit has already retired from T20Is and his form in Tests means he is unlikely to play red-ball cricket again.

With the destructive opening batter yet to fire in the tournament, he is also due a big score and could break the shackles in the final.
