Rohit Sharma Confirms ODI Return, Ashwin Comments on IPL Future and Mumbai Indians Leadership
Rohit Sharma is set to return to ODI cricket in the upcoming series against New Zealand, confirming he plans to continue playing until at least the 2027 ODI World Cup. He retired from T20Is in 2024 and Tests in 2025. Rohit humorously acknowledged the need to maintain good relations with current captains Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer. Meanwhile, Ravichandran Ashwin compared Rohit's IPL future to MS Dhoni's prolonged career and highlighted Naman Dhir as a potential future captain for Mumbai Indians, with Hardik Pandya possibly leaving the franchise.
