BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia rejects reports and retirement speculation suggesting Rohit Sharma’s ODI career could end with the match at Lord’s. Speaking to media ahead of or during the ongoing England series, Saikia says the Lord’s ODI will not be Rohit’s last game, directly addressing chatter that had built around the tour.
Multiple outlets report that the speculation gained traction during the England series, where Rohit has struggled to score runs. Despite the form concerns raised by observers, Saikia’s comments indicate the board does not see the Lord’s ODI as a concluding match for the India opener’s ODI future.
The reports present Saikia’s statement as a clear response to ongoing discussion within and outside the team about Rohit’s remaining ODI plans, while acknowledging that recent performances in the series have contributed to the speculation. Overall, the sources converge on the same message: Rohit’s ODI future extends beyond the Lord’s fixture.
