Legendary Kapil Dev wishes Rohit Sharma well in his life after retirement in advance, a day before the Lord’s ODI match between India and England, which has been considered Rohit Sharma’s final match for the Indian cricket team.
Rohit Sharma is rumored to announce his retirement after the conclusion of the India vs England ODI series on Sunday, July 19. It is not sure whether he will retire or not, but everyone has been preparing themselves to hear the official confirmation on Rohit’s future.
Amid all the speculations over Rohit’s retirement, Kapil Dev, former Indian cricket team captain and President of PGTI (Professional Golf Tour of India), told the news agency IANS that Rohit is among the very few players who have entertained the entire nation for years.
Kapil mentioned that the Mumbai-born opener is one of the outstanding cricketers who has done a lot for Indian cricket. Like most of the cricket fans, the former India all-rounder also has no confirmation about Rohit Sharma’s future with the India National Cricket Team. But he wished the batter the best for the upcoming days and for life after retirement.
“He has entertained the nation immensely, something very few players have achieved. He is one of those outstanding cricketers who has given us so much. If he is retiring, I wish him all the very best,” Kapil Dev stated.

— IANS (@ians_india) July 18, 2026Why is there so much buzz across social media platforms?
Reports over Rohit's future with the Indian cricket team are contrasting. Some of the media reports strongly suggest that the 39-year-old opener is all set to retire from international cricket, while some other reports mentioned that the decision solely depends on the batter himself.
Due to the contrasting claims, it is hard to say exactly what is going on now or what can happen on Sunday, on the day of the Lord’s match, which could be the former captain’s last dance in the Indian colors.
The situation is becoming more complex because there is no official statement from BCCI’s end nor from Rohit’s end. But one thing is certain: all of the cricket fans across the globe will keep their eyes on the screen to see ‘Hitman’ taking another stance for the Indian cricket team, in the middle of the iconic Lord’s cricket ground.
The winner of the India vs England 3rd match will win the series
The England series is not going well for Rohit. In the opening match of the series, he was dismissed for 11 runs, and in the second, he claimed only 26 runs with a strike rate of around 55.
At Lord’s, where India will be on the ground for a must-win match, fans will want to see a vintage Rohit Sharma. With one win each for India and England, tomorrow's match in London will be the series decider. The winner of the match will take the series home.
