AB de Villiers has appealed to Rohit Sharma not to retire.
New Delhi. AB de Villiers of South Africa believes that Rohit Sharma has no need to retire and will be one of the greatest captains of ODI cricket. After the Champions Trophy, the speculation of Rohit Sharma’s retirement was sharp. 37 -year -old K Rohit dismissed these speculation after giving India the title.
AB de Villiers said on his YouTube channel, ‘Look at Rohit’s percentage compared to other captains. It is about 74 percent better than earlier captains. If he continues to play, all time will be one of the best ODI captains. Then why should he retire? He has a great record not only as a captain but also as a batsman. In the Champions Trophy final, he gave India a great start by scoring 76 runs and laid the foundation of victory. When the pressure was at its peak, he took the front.
AB de Villiers said, ‘Rohit Sharma has no need to retire. He does not even need to listen to any criticism. His record speaks for him. He has also changed his game. His strike rate as an opener in Powerplay was not so much earlier. Since 2022, it has increased to 115 in the first powerplay. This is the difference between great and good.
Rohit Sharma will be seen playing for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025 starting on 22 March. Mumbai Indians captain is Hardik Pandya. A special thing will be seen in this IPL that Rohit Sharma, Jaspreet Bumrah and Suryakumar Yadav, who have captained different formats for the Indian team, will play under the captaincy of all-rounder Pandya. However, Pandya will not play the first match of the tournament.
