At 37, Rohit Sharma is nearing the twilight of his career, and his former teammate, Suresh Raina, believes the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy could mark his final appearance in an international ICC event. With Sharma’s age and the nature of his career, Raina feels this may be the last chance for him to add another prestigious title to his collection. Raina, who has won three ICC trophies, hopes that this milestone will allow Rohit to become the first Indian player, along with Virat Kohli, to secure four ICC trophies.
Rohit Sharma’s Quest for Four ICC Trophies
Raina emphasized the significance of this moment for Rohit, pointing out that the Indian captain has already won the T20 World Cup and is now eyeing the Champions Trophy. According to Raina, Rohit’s captaincy shines when he is in good form with the bat, and if he scores runs, it could propel India to a successful campaign.
The prospect of winning the Champions Trophy and achieving four ICC trophies would cement Rohit’s legacy as one of India’s greatest cricketers. Raina also highlighted that this could be Rohit’s last ICC trophy as captain, making the stakes even higher.
Rohit Sharma’s Aggressive Approach
Raina believes that the key to India’s success in the Champions Trophy will be Rohit’s aggressive approach, which has worked well for him in the past, notably during the 2023 ODI World Cup, where he led India to the final.
Raina suggested that Sharma’s aggressive batting style, including his performance in the ODI World Cup final and the T20 World Cup victory in 2022, will be crucial for India’s success. He also noted the importance of having the right partner to open the batting, hinting that the combination with Shubman Gill could bring the right balance and aggressive intent needed for the upcoming tournament.
