Viral social media posts tried to imply Sharma would retire from all forms of cricket. The post published as breaking news suggested that the sports website \u2018sportskreeda\u2019 had published this news, as seen below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Facebook<\/a> | Archived<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n We noticed that another website, cricketception.wixsite.com<\/a>, published a story titled ‘Sharma hangs up his boots; Kohli snubs BCCI\u2019s Test captaincy Pandya to take charge of white ball cap’<\/em> using a photo of Kushan Sarkar, a PTI cricket writer, which also gained high traction, creating confusion among fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We decided to do a fact-check on this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We checked Rohit\u2019s social handles and for any recent statements about retirement plans from the entire international cricket, but we did not come across any such notices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, no mainstream media or credible sources, including the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), have reported any notice related to Rohit Sharma’s retirement plans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, we checked any sports related to retirement notices associated with Rohit Sharma on the \u2018Sportskreeda\u2019 social handles. We noticed this post<\/a>: “Rohit Sharma is unlikely to play T20 internationals anymore. He had discussed his future in the shortest format of the game before the start of the ODI World Cup. Does this mean, no Hitman at the T20 World Cup?\u201d <\/em>Archived<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n However, the \u2018Sportskreeda\u2019 website had not published any posts regarding Rohit\u2019s retirement from all formats. They had clarified that their logo had been misused in creating the fake news of the Indian icon\u2019s retirement from all formats of international cricket. More details about this can be read here<\/a> | Archived<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s also important to note that the mainstays of Indian batting, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, had not played T20s since India\u2019s semi-final exit in the T20 World Cup in 2022. This decision is seen as a strategic move, given the presence of several young and proven performers in the IPL who are contenders for the opening spots. While Hardik Pandya led the Indian side in most T20 internationals in the recent past, the ongoing series against Australia is led by Suryakumar Yadav.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, during a recent interview with Sportskeeda<\/a>, Pakistani cricketing legend Wasim Akram talked about the importance of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the Indian cricket setup, even in the T20 setup. He was quoted as saying, \u201cThe T20 World Cup is happening within six months from now. I will pick both of them (Rohit and Virat). They will be the main players for India right now, both Virat and skipper Rohit. You need a bit of experience in T20. Saarey young bachchey nahi rakh sakte aap (You can’t keep only the youngsters).\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n While Rohit Sharma may not be playing in the T20 format to manage his workload, there is no confirmation of his retirement from all formats of international cricket. Speaking to Times Now, a BCCI source had recently stated that \u201cRohit and Virat can play T20s and the T20 World Cup next year if they want\u201d.

While Rohit Sharma has not appeared in the T20 format for India recently, there is no confirmation of his retirement from all formats of international cricket.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t![\"\"](\"https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-32.png\")
