I'm expecting Jadeja may retire from ODI's. He is sensing that Axar is being given preference over him, plus Tests is a vital form considering Ashwin's hole has to be filled by Sundar/Kuldeep.
Rohit most probably will as well, unless there is a backroom game.

Shami though is on last legs, but he would still like to be in contention. But in an ideal world, he should retirefrom ODI's.
Kohli...very slim chance. Unless he himself think so, but he has 100 100's in peripheral.

Apparently Rohit is not retiring, just giving up captaincy

Rohit not going to retire mark my word 

[Ajju]

Rohit will play 2027 wc as opener

Only one retiring is john cena

if rohit got a personal trainer for 6 months 9 months max he could reach kohli levels of fitness. the whole fitness thing is totally misunderstood in india except by a few. unless you are morbidly obese, you can get into the shape of your life in tour mid 40s, 36 is a complete doddle. kohli's fitness levels are nothing to write home about. it's dead easy.

So true. Unless he is in some kind of chronic pain that is preventing him from training, there is no reason he can't get in shape. And if he is in pain, he shouldn't be playing anyway.

 

Same with Pant. At age 26, he should be in better shape especially to protect his knee. He came back from his injury in better shape than before, but seemed to regress. Hopefully his IPL team emphasizes fitness.

It is expected that Rohit Sharma will retire from the longer format after the tournament . Altough, there are possible chances of Kane Williamson as well to say goodbye to the ODI format  . There's no surety about Shami, Jadeja, or Viral Kohli the King .

[Vk1]

If we lose more than 1.. if we win it could be zero 

[jf1gp_1]

I think irrespective of result few are going to retire. Will seems to be missing. Effort being put shows on face so wont be surprised.

Kohli hugged Jadeja after his spell. I am probably being stupid but I think that might be a sign.
