No better time to say goodbye to this format. I've loved every moment of this. This is what I wanted - I wanted to win the cup."
After retiring from the T20Is, Rohit Sharma will be focusing only on ODIs and Tests. With the ongoing World Test Championship and next year's Champions Trophy 2024 in Pakistan, Rohit will look to contribute to Team India's success.
