However, the narrative changed after India’s thrilling victory over New Zealand in the final, where Rohit played a crucial knock of 76 and was named Player of the Match. He also became only the second Indian captain to win two ICC trophies. Following the win, Rohit Sharma firmly dismissed retirement talks, stating he wasn’t stepping away from the format. While he has kept his options open regarding the 2027 World Cup, many believe he is determined to push himself further, aiming for more success in ODIs.
