Earlier this month, on May 7, Rohit made headlines by announcing his retirement from Test cricket, drawing the curtain on a distinguished 11-year career in the longest format. His decision came ahead of India's challenging five-match tour of England, which will mark the beginning of their campaign in the 2025-27 ICC World Test Championship, starting June 20.
Across 67 Test appearances, Rohit accumulated 4,301 runs at an average of 40.57. His red-ball resume includes 12 centuries and 18 half-centuries, with a career-best score of 212 recorded during a memorable series against South Africa on home soil in 2019. He concludes his Test journey as India’s 16th-highest run-scorer.
Rohit had earlier bid farewell to T20 Internationals in 2024 following the conclusion of the T20 World Cup, marking the end of a remarkable chapter in the shortest format.
In 151 T20I matches, the 37-year-old amassed 4,231 runs at an average of 32.05, striking at an impressive rate of over 140. His T20I career is adorned with five centuries and 32 fifties, with his top score being a blistering 121 not out. He retires as the format’s leading run-scorer, cementing his legacy as one of T20 cricket’s most prolific and consistent performers.
