After retiring from Test cricket, the former India captain faced plenty of questions about his future, with reports even suggesting that he is not being considered for the ICC ODI World Cup 2027. But Rohit has answered those doubts in the best possible way. Earlier, KL Rahul crowned "most versatile cricketer" by Aakash Chopra.
However, Sunil Gavaskar was disappointed when Rohit fell for 92 because he wanted the senior opener to complete another ODI century. The right-hander currently has 35 ODI hundreds and will turn 40 when the ICC ODI World Cup 2027 begins.

Sunil Gavaskar said on the Star Sports Network, "The reason I was disappointed with Rohit getting out on 92 is that he didn't get a hundred, and he might possibly quit international cricket after the end of the ICC ODI World Cup 2027. And at that particular point in time, when he decides to call it a day, I personally would like Rohit to have more ODI hundreds than his age.”

Gavaskar also wanted to score as many Test centuries as his age before retirement at 38, but three dismissals in the 90s hampered his chances. So, he now wants Rohit to achieve this feat. Amid this, Shubman Gill gives no-nonsense verdict on Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli's future.
The 1983 World Cup winner further noted, “That is why I really want Rohit to reach that mark. In my last year of international cricket, I wanted to score as many Test centuries as my age, and I got out in the 90s three times. If I'd got those hundreds, then my centuries would have matched the age of my retirement, which was 38.”
