Pandey ji  breaking this news and he is very close friend of Rohit Sharma.  Most likely true report. 

[Frustrated]

Hopefully he goes.   Should be good riddance.   It has been a torture watching him bat, post CT2025 Final.  

[Gollum]

Right decision if indeed it is true. No need to tarnish such a great legacy, father time always wins. 

[Manucrick]

Hope its true rohit got nothing left

@maniac for you, will it hurt more than SRT's retirement?

Will tell you when it actually happens

@sage Brother will you still lost on ICF if this is true? 

[Lone Wolf]

Khatam tata bye good bye gaya.... Lord's is a great place to sign off.

 

Rohit should go out with a bang.  Full on aggression

Almost confirmed bro. Devendra Pandey is basically Rohit's mouthpiece in Indian media.

One of the greatest redemption arcs since 2013 CT. In fact even before that, in a tri-series in WI I think, where India beat SL in the final courtesy MS. 

 

Used to be a very frustrating player before that.

Good for him and the team if true. Has a great legacy and should leave on a high

 

 

How life has changed for him around 19.

 

Played his first T20I on 19-September, 2007

Got close to winning the WC on 19-November, 2023

Will play his last international match on 19-July, 2026

I hope so

That tri series happened right after CT...   Great comeback.  India lost 2 games shock defeats, had to win next 2 with bonus points to qualify for the final and then that MS magic after Herath tore through the Middle order.

Will always be remembered for his three 200s in ODI including the highest ever individual score of 264, a record unlikely to be broken.

[express bowling]

Good if true.

One of the games I remember where the SL openers singlehandedly crushed us. I think Tharanga was one of them. 

[VT87]

I don't think so

[Bigg Brother]

There was similar news about Dhoni when we toured there in 2018. Similar headlines- him retiring after 3rd ODI when he played embarrassingly slow in Lords ODI. Not only he didn't retire, he went on to play next year wc and screwed us more. 

[singhvivek141]

Believe it when I see it.

Hopefully a redemption for Jaiswal. Another leftie is needed.
