'I am not retiring'
After Team India became the champion, Rohit answered many questions in the press conference and then as soon as he got up to leave, the captain turned back and said, "And yes one last thing... I am not retiring from this format. I am clarifying this so that there are no further rumours." This one statement of Rohit made Team India and especially Rohit's fans many times happier. Not only did the captain make Team India the champion, but also scored the most runs in the final and put an end to the rumours of retirement.
Rohit's goal is to win the 2027 World Cup
Rohit had made his intentions clear several times before that he also wants to play the 2027 ODI World Cup. Rohit had said that he wants to win this title. Rohit, who has already won the T20 World Cup and the Champions Trophy, has not yet won this and the biggest title. Under Rohit's captaincy, Team India performed brilliantly in the World Cup 2023 but had to face defeat at the hands of Australia in the final. In such a situation, Rohit has raised the hope among his fans that perhaps he will also fulfill this dream in the World Cup 2027.
