Former India keeper-batter Parthiv Patel’s gut feelings said that Rohit Sharma could smash a century before announcing his retirement from international cricket.
The day after the India vs England 2nd ODI in Cardiff, social media has been buzzing as reports have strongly suggested that Rohit could announce his retirement from the India National Cricket Team on Sunday, when they will be at Lord’s for the 3rd and final match of the ongoing bilateral series.
As Rohit Sharma’s struggle to get significant runs continues, the speculation over his international career gets more intense than ever before. As per the media reports, it is almost obvious that the former India cricketer is all set to say goodbye to the team, ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup.
Parthiv Patel stated that if Rohit decides to hang up his cricket bat after the Lord’s match on Sunday, then he will try his best to finish things off in style, maybe by smashing another century for India. Patel mentioned that whenever the opener struggled to get runs, he bounced back with splendid knocks. At the end of his career, Rohit could repeat the same.
“If the Lord's ODI is indeed the last match of his career, Rohit Sharma would want to sign off with a century. He is more than capable of doing that. We've seen it throughout his career - after two or three low scores, he often bounces back with a match-winning knock in the very next innings," Patel opined while speaking on JioHotstar's 'Match Centre Live' segment.
Parthiv Patel explains the difference between Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma
Due to Rohit’s potential, retirement concerns started to loom over Virat Kohli’s career. After Rohit, Virat is the second most senior cricketer in the present ODI set-up of the Indian cricket team. Patel described that while Virat Kohli is consistently known for scoring runs, Rohit’s way of treating the game is different.
"The difference between Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma has always been consistency. Rohit may not score heavily in every game, but when he does, he plays a substantial innings and often ends up winning the Player of the Match award," Parthiv Patel said.
Parthiv Patel is expecting a masterclass from Rohit Sharma at Lord's
Patel observed that due to uneven bounce, Rohit, 39, was not comfortable in Cardiff in the 2nd match of the 3-match ODI series against England. The former cricketer felt that the veteran opener still has enough gas in the tank to produce another stellar knock to silence the critics.
“He didn't look comfortable in this game. He was troubled by the uneven bounce and never found his rhythm. But this is another opportunity for him to silence his critics. It has happened many times before, and he has always responded with the bat. So, if the Lord's ODI is indeed his final match, I hope he plays an innings that people remember for a long time," Patel added.
