India has gifted some of the best cricketers in the world over the years. From Sunil Gavaskar to Sachin Tendulkar to Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, the galaxy of Indian cricket is full of bright stars.

Since Sachin Tendulkar has hung up his boots, the onus of carrying the torch of Indian cricket ahead has been on Kohli and Rohit. The duo has scaled down some unimaginable records and gifted unforgettable moments to Indian cricket fans.

One of the most recent happy memories of the duo was a part was the T20 World Cup 2024 win. But much to the sorrow of the fanbases of the two superstars, both Kohli and Rohit announced their retirement from the format after the title win.

Why The Retirement Rumour Is Spreading Like Wild Fire?

The two Indian superstars are currently taking on New Zealand in the final of the Champions Trophy 2025. As the two stars have taken the field, the fans are dreading the same from the two stars from the ODI format if India win the title.

Moreover, a recent post on social media by a fan has added fire to the retirement of the two stars. In the post, a video was shared of the two cricketers with the caption - not ready for 9th March. This is the reason behind the rumours spreading like wildfire. 

How True Is The Rumour Of The Retirement Of The Two Stars? 

However, neither Kohli nor Rohit has given any statement about retiring from ODI format after the game. During the T20 World Cup 2024, the decision from the two players came after winning the tournament. They can do the same in this case also, but for now, there is no official confirmation from either of the players or BCCI and hence it can be dismissed as plain rumours only for now.
