Rohit Sharma was last in action in the ODI series against Sri Lanka
After laying his hands on the Men's T20 World Cup trophy for the second time, Team India captain Rohit Sharma called it a day from T20 Internationals along with Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja.
The 37-year-old was last seen leading Team India in the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. He was the team's highest run-getter in that series but failed to get a positive result as the Islanders beat Team India 2-0.
Rohit Sharma was rested for the Duleep Trophy. The Team India skipper will be back in action against Bangladesh for the first Test on September 19 at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.
