Rohit Sharma's decision to retire from Test cricket has set the stage for a new focus on limited-overs matches. An esteemed figure in Indian cricket, Rohit intends to steer the team toward victory in the 2027 World Cup.

With over 11,000 runs and countless accolades in ODIs, Sharma remains a formidable force. His coach, Dinesh Lad, revealed that the Test retirement was a calculated decision to prolong his career, enabling more energy and time for 50-over matches.

The upcoming 2027 World Cup in Africa is viewed as his crowning goal. Rohit's Test debut against the West Indies in 2013 remains a cherished memory, even as the team's leadership evolves with emerging talents like Shubman Gill and KL Rahul.
