Rohit Sharma has made it crystal clear that he’s not retiring from ODI cricket. The India captain was in no mood to spare the rumourmongers during a chat with his teammate Virat Kohli as the duo posed for pictures while basking in the glory of their Champions Trophy win on Sunday night in Dubai.

A clip is being widely shared on social media in which an unfiltered Rohit is purportedly telling Kohli how everyone is thinking they are going to retire from ODIs when it’s not the case.

“Abhi ham koi retire nahi ho rahe. ******* inko toh lag raha hai (We aren’t retiring)," Rohit says in the clip leaving Kohli in splits.

Rohit and Kohli now have won the most ICC titles as India players, winning four each.

Kohli was part of Indian teams that won the 2011 ODI World Cup, ICC Champions Trophy in 2013 and 2025, and 2024 T20 World Cup. On the other hand, Rohit won the 2007 World T20, Champions Trophy in 2013 and 2025, and 2024 T20 World Cup.

Kohli also has won the ICC U19 World Cup as captain.

Rohit top-scored for India with 76 off 83 to help them chase down the target of 252 set by New Zealand in the final. For his performance, the 37-year-old won player-of-the-final award.

“It is very nice. We played some really good cricket whole through the tournament, to come out here and having the result our way is a great feeling, very very happy with how we played this game," Rohit said during the post-match presentation.

In the twilight of his career, Rohit has adapted an aggressive approach with the bat which often sets the ton of the innings.

However, it’s not something that’s a natural part of his game.

“It (attacking game) is not natural to me but it is something I really wanted to do, when you are trying to do something different you need the backing of the team, you need the backing of the management and they were right through with me. In the ODI World Cup as well with Rahul bhai, this is what I spoke to him and he was very much okay with it, and now Gauti bhai as well. It’s all about getting the backing of the team and the management as well," he said.
