India ends 12 years of ICC ODI title drought
The final against New Zealand is unsettling. India, led by Captain Rohit Sharma, chased the 252 goal with six goals to make up for the four-goal victory. The victory marked India’s first ICC ODI title since the 2013 championship trophy, ending a frustrating 12-year wait. Rohit played a key role, scoring 76, while the bowler took discipline as the stage.
Apart from the cricket wonders, the moment between Rohit and Virat resonates with fans. As two veterans are in the twilight of their careers, speculation about retirement has been prevalent. But Rohit was very clear–he hasn’t gone anywhere yet.
Rohit Sharma closes retirement rumours
In a post-match press conference, Rohit Sharma spoke directly about the whirlpool rumors about his ODI future. “I want to clarify that I won’t go anywhere. I haven’t retired from this format,” he asserted. His statement strengthened his commitment to Indian cricket, which pleased him to fans who wish to see more explosive hits in the Supreme Order.
This position was responded in a viral conversation with Colee, where he humorously refuted any retirement speeches. The laugh-filled interaction of the duo reminds people of their lasting partnerships and mutual respect that have worked for India for many years.

Rohit and Kohli’s celebration moments spread like wildfire on social media. These two cricketers often have complex relationships, showing their strong bond as they laugh at their endless speculation about their future in cricket.
Continue to inspire legacy
The 2025 Championship Trophy champion adds another feather to Rohit and Kohli’s already outstanding careers. They have been playing together for over 15 years and their journey is full of historic victories, including the 2011 World Cup, the 2013 Championship Trophy and the 2024 T20 World Cup. Their leadership, experience and performance played a role in shaping the golden age of Indian cricket.
Despite the team’s generations, the existence of the two is still priceless. Kohli is India’s leading run score ever in the ICC competition, while Rohit is known for his aggressive captain and record-breaking situation, continuing to resist age and expectations.
