Amid the uncertainties, the 1983 World Cup winner Madan Lal has come out in full support of the former Indian captain. He believes that Rohit should continue playing as long as he is performing well and scoring runs for the national team, as he is active only in ODI cricket.
As the former Indian captain didn’t announce his retirement, Madan Lal has stressed that every cricketer has to retire one day, but there is no reason to ask a player to leave if he is still performing well. He said Rohit has every right to continue playing if he is still contributing with the bat.
If you have the courage, then go ahead and drop him. He's performing, after all. That's how it should be. It shouldn't be that you go to him and say, 'You're no longer in our plans.' He has every right to ask, 'Why? I'm scoring runs and playing well, so why am I not in your plans?”
Madan Lal hails Rohit Sharma's unique batting
He further explained his point by saying, “I don't understand why we keep going after players. Anyone who plays for the country cares about their performance. He wants to perform, and he wants to do well. We need a player like Rohit Sharma.

The former Team India manager also reminded everyone that cricket is a team game and no player can win every match alone, so it is unfair to blame Rohit for the team’s struggles.
Notably, Rohit has so far managed 379 runs, including one century and one fifty, at an average of 42.11 and a strike rate close to 100 in nine matches in 2026.
