The last time Rohit Sharma played however was in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2025. The veteran batsman of the Mumbai Indians (MI) was in exceptional form at the time of the tournament.
He was the second highest run scorer on MI in the competition having scored 418 runs, and this at a strike rate of 149.28 in 15 innings. The eventuating losing team, Punjab Kings (PBKS), won the five-time champions by five wickets to end their campaign.
In IPL 2025, Sharma announced his retirement in Test cricket in a noticeable way. ODIs are only the international form of game where the player opening the batting is still playing.
His statement occurred ahead of the 2025-27 World Test Championship (WTC) cycle. On May 7, Sharma posted the following in an Instagram story:
“Hello everyone, I would just like to share that I am retiring from Test cricket. It’s been an absolute honor to represent my country in whites. Thank you for all the love and support over the years. I will continue to represent India in the ODI format.”
Shubman Gill was named India’s new Test captain following Sharma’s red-ball retirement. After a five-match away series in England that concluded in a 2-2 draw, his stay got underway.
