\"I am not going to retire from this format,\" said Rohit in the post-match press conference. \u201cKoi future plan hai nahi, jo chal raha hai chalega (no future plan, whatever is happening will continue),\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 37-year-old, who had previously announced his decision to retire from T20Is following India\u2019s triumph in the 2024 T20 World Cup, was expected to step down from white-ball cricket as a whole, given the next ODI tournament is the World Cup in 2027, slated to be played in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rohit made his ODI debut against Ireland at Belfast on June 23, 2007, and has represented the Indian national team in 273 games while racking up 11,168 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The batter from Mumbai also hailed the senior players who are stalwarts in the Indian national team and claimed their hunger drives the younger players to step up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"There is a lot of hunger even in guys who have played a lot of cricket, and it rubs down on even the younger players. We have 5-6 players who are real stalwarts\u2026 it makes the job easier for all of us,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rohit also hailed fellow Mumbaikar Shreyas Iyer, who ended the tournament as the second-highest run-getter, having scored 241 runs in five matches behind New Zealand batter Rachin Ravindra.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
