Rohit Sharma Shares Significant News About His ODI Career: ‘I Will Do Everything I Can To…’
In a video that has gone viral online regarding a recent occasion, when Rohit was questioned if the “ODI World Cup in South Africa will be his complete focus for the next 18 months,” he responded, “Yes, I will certainly aim to go there (South Africa) and secure the World Cup for my nation (India).” That is something I have always regarded. I’ve spent my life watching this 50-over World Cup. At that time, there was neither a T20 World Cup nor a World Test Championship, and the IPL did not exist. We have all experienced the excitement of the 50-over World Cup, which was considered the peak of cricket and occurred every four years. There was a sense of urgency; there was an immense amount of anticipation for that single prize. And yes, I truly desire that trophy too. “I will make every effort within my ability to go and attempt to achieve that.”
Rohit, India’s third top scorer in ODIs, accumulated 597 runs in the ODI World Cup 2023, and during the 2019 tournament held in England and Wales, he garnered a total of 648 runs for the Virat Kohli-led team, ending as the leading run scorer.
In 2025, he scored 650 runs across 14 ODIs for Team India and guided them to the ICC Champions Trophy title, achieving a perfect win record.
Rohit, having retired from Tests and T20Is, is set to play for India again in July 2026 against England. India is set to visit England in July for a series of three One Day Internationals.
