Rohit Sharma Takes Swipe At Cricketers From ‘Other Countries’ says, “People Retire And Take U-Turns”
After Team India’s T20 World Cup 2024 triumph in June Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from the shortest of the game. Rohit announced his decision to quit T20Is hours after Virat Kohli also made the announcement, saying that it’s time for the new generation to take over. In the past, there have been instances when players have made U-turns after taking retirements.
However, Rohit has assured that his decision is final as he won't be available for T20Is anymore. He also highlight instances from the past, saying that taking retirements has become a joke.
Rohit said, “Retirement has become a joke these days in World cricket, people announce retirement but then return to play, it hasn’t happened in India – however I have been observing players from other countries, they announce retirement but then make a U-turn so you never really know whether someone has actually retired – my decision is final & I am very clear – it was a perfect time to say goodbye from T20I.”
