Former Indian cricketer Dilip Vensarkar shared his views on Rohit Sharma’s future as a player and captain of the Indian Cricket Team. Vengsarkar believes that Rohit’s future is ‘unwarranted’ and no one could make assumptions about his retirement from International cricket. Rohit recently led India to the Champions Trophy triumph and became the first Indian captain to win two back-to-back ICC titles.
Dilip Vengsarkar said that lot of will depend on Rohit Sharma’s fitness and form whether he will play for India till the 2027 ODI World Cup. I am not an astrologer. A lot of matches to go till the 2027 World Cup. A lot will depend on his form and fitness. It is not fair to say anything at this stage but he has been outstanding as both captain and player. I don’t know why people speculated (on his retirement), it’s unwarranted. A player of his stature should get to decide about his future,” Vengsarkar was quoted as saying by News18.
Guys like Virat and Rohit are big match players: Dilip Vengsarkar
Speaking further, Dilip Vengsarkar also hailed Rohit Sharma and star batter Virat Kohli and feels that both the senior players play a crucial part in the Indian team. Vengsarkar said that Rohit’s and Kohli’s presence on the field motivates India in big matches and demoralises the oppositions.
“The way he (Rohit) has been playing all this time is nothing short of exemplary. He has got three double hundreds in ODI. What more do I say about him. Guys like Virat and Rohit are big match players, bigger the platform the better the performance. It is very important from team’s point of view. Their sheer presence is demoralizing the opposition," Vengsarkar said.
