Your daily dose of cricket!
His retirement took place in the humiliating part of the humiliating loss of India in the border-gavaskar trophy against Australia and the white domestic test series against New Zealand.
There was also a significant immersion in the form of Rohit Sharma, and with a new cycle of World ICC Test Championship that began with the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy, the batter thought it was the right time to give way to young people.
His retirement opened the door to a new test captain, and the BCCI handed over the responsibility to Shubman Gill, who did a wonderful job against England and helped India draw the test series.
In the meantime, Rohit scored 4301 runs into 67 games with an average of 40.57 in his test career and had a decent career as captain.
Mentally, it is very difficult and it is also draining – Rohit Sharma

“When we start playing a competitive cricket, even in Mumbai, the Cricket Club (matches) continues for two days (or) three days, so we are built like this and starts at a very young age for us. It’s a little easier to respond to the situations in front of them,” he added.
“… When I started playing sports, it was fun -enjoying (as you continue, start playing Cricket of the age group and keep moving forward.
“When you are very young, you do not understand the importance of preparation. But as you go well, you understand, it gives you a kind of discipline that the game asks for, so it starts with preparation, understanding what to do exactly,” said Rohit Sharma.
