I really want to win the World Cup: Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma had led the Indian team all the way to the final of the 2023 World Cup, where they eventually lost to Australia in a heartbreaking moment for the hosts. Debates began as to whether it was the last of Rohit in an Indian jersey.
However, the veteran opener made a comeback to T20Is against Afghanistan and will lead the Men in Blue at the T20 World Cup once again. Recently on the show 'Breakfast with Champions', Rohit opened up on his desire to win the World Cup before retiring.
He said:
"I haven't really thought about retirement. But, I don't know where life takes you. I am still playing well at this point in time - so I am thinking I am going to continue for a few more years and then, I don't know. I really want to win the World Cup and there is a WTC final in 2025, hopefully India makes it."
