New Delhi: Rubbishing the rumours and reports that have been floating around, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has denied the claims of retirement which has been pillaging the dressing rooms of Indian cricket. The news of Rohit’s departure started coming in after the retirement news of Ashwin.
Ashwin Anna bids farewell to international cricket!
Earlier, Ashwin announced his retirement in the post-match press conference after the third Test match against Australia in Brisbane.
The 38-year-old broke the news of his retirement after India’s fourth Test against Australia in Brisbane ended in a draw. He ended his career with 537 wickets at an average of 24 in 106 Tests and became India’s second-leading wicket-taker after legendary leg-spinner Anil Kumble. He also scored six Test centuries and 14 fifties with the bat. His last international game was the day-night Test in Adelaide, where he took 1-53.
The last time Rohit Sharma played a Test at No. 6 in Melbourne, he scored 63(114)* That innings was a pure classic.🤌❤️

When asked if Rohit will follow suit, he said that his numbers have not been good lately but as long as his body and mind are moving well, he will keep on playing for India.
Addressing the botched-up remarks and rumours, Rohit admitted that:
I have not batted well. There’s no harm in accepting that….
However, the Indian skipper admitted the fact that it’s only he who knows how his body is and what mindset he is in. Furthermore, Rohit remarked:
It’s just about spending as much time as possible, which I’m pretty sure I’m just there. As long as my mind, my body, and my feet are moving well, I’m pretty happy with how things are planning out for me….
When is the Boxing Day Test?
