In a heartfelt revelation, Dinesh Lad, the childhood coach of Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma, has hinted that the star opener may hang up his boots after the 2027 ODI World Cup.
Speaking about Rohit’s future, Lad shared that the veteran batter has already set his eyes on the tournament as his final milestone in international cricket. He emphasized that Rohit’s dedication to the game remains as strong as ever, but the cricketer also understands the need to make space for the next generation once his goals are achieved.
Rohit Sharma, who has been a pillar of Indian batting for over a decade, has already etched his name among the modern greats with numerous records — including five centuries in a single World Cup and over 10,000 ODI runs. Under his leadership, India has witnessed a resurgence in limited-overs cricket, marked by consistency and composure.
If Lad’s remarks hold true, fans could be witnessing the countdown to the end of an illustrious era. For now, Rohit remains focused on leading India through the upcoming challenges, aiming to bring home another World Cup before bidding farewell to the format that made him a legend.
Cricket fans across the world will surely be watching closely as Rohit Sharma’s journey approaches its next chapter — one that promises both emotion and legacy.
