I really want to win the World Cup: Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma led the Indian team to the 2023 World Cup final where they faced a heartbreaking defeat against Australia. The nation questioned whether it marked the end of Rohits journey in the Indian cricket jersey.
However, the seasoned opener returned to T20Is against Afghanistan and will lead the Men in Blue to the T20 World Cup once again. Rohit recently spoke on the show ‘Breakfast with Champions’ about his aim to win the World Cup before retiring.
He said:
“I haven’t really thought about retirement. But, I don’t know where life takes you. I am still playing well at this point in time – so I am thinking I am going to continue for a few more years and then, I don’t know. I really want to win the World Cup and there is a WTC final in 2025, hopefully India makes it.”
