ROHIT SHARMA NEWS: Rohit Sharma broke his silence on retirement rumours, expressed his feelings in front of the camera.

New Delhi. Finally, what every cricket fan was waiting for happened. Now Rohit Sharma himself has broken his silence on the discussions about retirement that were going on for the last three days. In the second ODI played at Lord’s, 39-year-old Rohit played a brilliant inning of 138 runs in 110 balls and made it clear that his job is only to perform on the field and not to pay attention to outside things.

Rohit Sharma was struggling with form this year. In 8 matches, he had scored only 241 runs, which included one half-century and his average was 30, but with this brilliant innings played at Lord’s, he not only answered the critics but also created history.

Rohit Sharma refused to retire

While talking to the team’s social media, Rohit Sharma said in very clear words, see, my job is to bat. Going out on the field and playing, representing your country and team. This is what I have been taught since my debut and I will do the same. The noise was there even then and will be there as long as I play. It doesn’t matter to me. The most important thing for me is what I do on the field and how much I contribute to the success of the team. If there is no noise, there will be no fun. My work is inside the field and the work of other people is outside. That’s how I see it.

Historic century scored at Lord’s

In fact, before the second ODI, a report in ‘Indian Express’ had claimed that under pressure from the selectors, Rohit Sharma may retire after the Lord’s match. However, BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia rejected this news. Now Rohit’s own statement has completely put an end to all the speculations. Rohit Sharma has now become the first Indian batsman to score a century in ODI at Lord’s. This innings has brought great relief for both the team and the fans.
