India Captain Rohit Sharma Addresses Retirement Rumors After Champions Trophy Win

India Clinches Champions Trophy 2025: Rohit Sharma Creates History

India’s Dominance in ODI Cricket

India’s new ODI strategy paid off as Rohit Sharma’s team secured their first major 50-over title in 12 years. On March 9, 2025, India defeated New Zealand by four wickets in the Champions Trophy final in Dubai. With this victory, India became the first team to win the Champions Trophy three times, surpassing Australia’s two titles.

Additionally, Rohit Sharma joined the elite list of Indian captains with multiple ICC white-ball trophies, following in the footsteps of MS Dhoni. Speculation about his retirement from ODI cricket was widespread, but Rohit has now cleared the air.

India Captain Rohit Sharma Addresses Retirement Rumors After Champions Trophy Win

Rohit Sharma on ODI Retirement

After leading India to the T20 World Cup title in 2024, Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from T20Is. However, despite rumors, he confirmed that he is not retiring from ODI cricket and will continue playing the format.

Rohit Sharma’s Historic Feat

With this win, Rohit Sharma became only the second Indian captain to lift two ICC trophies, after MS Dhoni. He previously led India to victory in the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup. Before him, India had won ICC trophies under the leadership of MS Dhoni (3), Sourav Ganguly (1), and Kapil Dev (1).

Rohit’s Match-Winning Performance

Rohit played a crucial knock of 76 runs off 83 balls, hitting three sixes and seven fours. He set the tone for India’s chase with a massive six off Kyle Jamieson on just his second delivery. This innings marked his first-ever 50+ score in an ICC final, reaching his half-century in just 41 balls.

India’s Road to Redemption

Rohit Sharma is the only captain to have led a team to the final of all four major ICC tournaments:

  • Champions Trophy 2025 (Winners)
  • T20 World Cup 2024 (Winners)
  • ODI World Cup 2023 (Runners-up)
  • World Test Championship 2023 (Runners-up)

After heartbreaking defeats against Australia in the WTC and ODI World Cup finals, India finally made a strong comeback, winning back-to-back ICC trophies under Rohit’s leadership.

With this monumental victory, India has reaffirmed its dominance in world cricket, and Rohit Sharma’s legacy as a captain continues to grow.
