Under Rohit Sharma's leadership, the Indian cricket team has achieved another significant victory, winning the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This win follows their T20 World Cup victory in 2024, marking two consecutive ICC tournament wins with Rohit as captain. Rohit Sharma was also named Man of the Match in the final game. New Zealand initially scored 251 runs in 50 overs. India successfully chased the target, scoring 252 runs, with Rohit contributing a crucial 76 runs.
After this major win, Rohit is taking a break with his family before the IPL 2025 begins on March 22. He recently shared a heartwarming photo on social media of him playing with his children on the balcony of his Mumbai home. The photo, featuring him with his baby on his shoulder and his elder daughter, Samaira, has received much love from fans who appreciate his focus on family.
Before the Champions Trophy, there were rumors about Rohit Sharma possibly retiring from ODI cricket. However, after India's victory, Rohit addressed these rumors in a press conference, stating, "No one should spread rumors. I am not going anywhere. I am not retiring just yet."

In an interview with Sanjana Ganesan, Jasprit Bumrah's wife, Rohit was asked about his plans after retirement. He replied, "I haven't thought about retirement yet, so there's no point in discussing future plans." Following this, cricket legends Ricky Ponting (Australia) and AB de Villiers (South Africa) supported Rohit’s decision to continue playing for India, emphasizing that he is still in great form.
