India's captain Rohit Sharma may play his final One-Day International, in the Champions Trophy 2025 final against New Zealand in Dubai, it will be an emotional occasion for Indian cricket if Rohit decides to sign off after this game.

Following the Champions Trophy 2025 final, Rohit Sharma will make a final decision regarding his ODI future. However, his objective will be to win the title by defeating New Zealand in the final. As a result, he hasn't offered any signals of his retirement as yet.

Champions Trophy final to be Rohit Sharma’s ODI swansong

The Men in Blue will try to get the squad ready for the ODI World Cup in 2027. It remains to be seen whether Rohit will be available for that event and it also raises questions over his captaincy status.

The team obviously wishes to steer clear of these inquiries and focus solely on the Champions Trophy 2025 final at this time. It should be mentioned that Gill, the vice-captain, conducted the press conference before the crucial match, and Rohit did not.

India's next white-ball series at home is against South Africa in December. Before that, he will have just six ODIs away from India to participate in ODI cricket. Hence, Rohit might announce his retirement after the final.

Rohit's future in Test cricket

Rohit Sharma's career in Test cricket is also very much in doubt. The forthcoming Test series in England may be his final one in the red-ball format, where he has been in terrible form lately.

India will play a five-match Test series in England. Despite his poor performances in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where he even had to drop himself from the most recent Test, Rohit is currently India's captain in the red-ball format and may stay in that position.

Rohit may not even be chosen if Ajit Agarkar and his selection committee are not persuaded that he is capable of playing in the Test series in England. India will play a two-match Test series against West Indies at home, and it might be the farewell series for Rohit Sharma as well.

Rohit will leave a legacy to follow

At the moment, Rohit is leading India in the 2025 Champions Trophy. He has led the team brilliantly and has been impressive as a captain so far.

His ideas have been a huge success thus far, and he intends to continue them into the final. With the bat, he hasn't had a fantastic tournament so far as he has scored 104 runs in 4 matches at an average of 26 and a strike rate of 107.21.
