Rohit Gurunath Sharma

The Indian cricket icon or his representatives are yet to officially disclose the reason.

India's three-match ODI series against Australia will be Rohit Sharma's next appearance on the field.

Shubman Gill’s return as T20 vice-captain ahead of the Asia Cup would do a ‘world of good’ to the Indian team.

The pacer spoke about a moment he shared with Rohit Sharma in 2019, describing how the skipper encouraged him following a lackluster performance in a T20I series against Bangladesh in Rajkot.

Both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma announced their retirements from the red-ball format without getting a farewell Test.

Rohit Sharma has been out of action since IPL 2025, during which he also announced his retirement from Test cricket.

For Pathan, the equation is simple: fitness and hunger will matter, but it is regular cricket that will ultimately decide whether Kohli, Rohit, and Shami are still around in 2027.

Rohit Sharma is taking the fitness test for the first time since declaring his retirement from Tests.

If Rohit Sharma doesn't raise his level of fitness, Tiwary says it will be difficult for him to make the ODI squad.

Srikkanth, a former BCCI top selector, emphasized that Kohli should have been given a better send-off because he still had at least two years of Test cricket left.

Following the ban, Cricbuzz reported that several Indian players will face financial hardship as a result of these corporations' anticipated decision to abandon cricket and shift their focus elsewhere.

Shubman Gill (784 rating points) and Rohit Sharma (756) held the number one and number two spot respectively with Pakistan's Babar Azam (739) rounding out the top three.

The two stalwarts last featured for India in the Champions Trophy in the UAE, where India lifted their first ICC ODI trophy in 12 years.

Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma worked together for nearly three years as a coach-captain duo and during this period India also ended their long drought in ICC event at the T20 World Cup last year.

The 38-year-old has already stepped away from Test and T20I cricket, with his last international outing coming in the Champions Trophy final against New Zealand earlier this year.

Both senior players last featured in an ODI in February 2025 during the ICC Champions Trophy, which India won in the UAE.

Even though both of these iconic batsmen are still playing in the ODI format, they have abruptly vanished from the rankings.

In his most recent international appearance, Rohit led India to Champions Trophy victory in March, also winning Player of the Match for his 76 off 83 balls against New Zealand in the final.

Varun also claimed that Gambhir and Surya both boosted his confidence and their support helped him go forward.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are likely to return to action in October when the Men in Blue tour Australia.
