The retirement of former Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma remains in the news. Rohit has already said goodbye to T20 and Test formats and now there is speculation that after the third ODI match against England on July 19, the ‘Hitman’ will also say goodbye to ODI format. Meanwhile, former cricketer Aakash Chopra has given his reaction on the speculations about Rohit’s retirement.
In the second ODI against England, Rohit Sharma scored 26 runs in 47 balls and his strike rate was 55.32. Aakash Chopra noted that Rohit has never played so slow and his style of playing has changed after snatching the captaincy. Even in the first ODI, Rohit played at a strike rate of only 52.32.
Aakash Chopra said, “Rohit has changed his style of batting. There was a time when he used to score fifty in powerplay overs, but in the second ODI, he was out in the 18th over and scored only 26 runs. We have never seen him playing like this before.”

Aakash Chopra said that Rohit Sharma’s style of playing has changed after leaving the captaincy, but the question is whether he could have been given a little more time. Should the selectors have thought that there is still one and a half years left for the World Cup, so they should give Rohit more chances. He said that there is still one and a half year and the team management could have waited a little more.
Akash further said, “If this is Rohit Sharma’s last match, then I would just say, ‘Make 100 in the last match, man. There is a match at Lord’s and play like a Lord. The way you have ruled ODI cricket, go away saying goodbye to this format.’
