Rohit Sharma’s cricket career is undergoing a significant shift. He’s already retired from Test cricket and T20 format. Now, he’ll focus solely on One-Day Internationals (ODIs). As the captain of Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025, Rohit has scored 300 runs in 11 matches.
After IPL 2025 ends on June 3, Rohit might undergo surgery for his left hamstring. This would give him around two and a half months to recover before India’s next ODI series against Bangladesh, starting August 17.
A source close to the matter revealed that if Rohit wants to play in the 2027 World Cup, this is the perfect time for surgery. As captain, he’s been dealing with this injury for years, but his post-retirement schedule will allow him to recover properly. Neither the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) nor Rohit has made an official statement about this.
Why Rohit delayed his surgery
Rohit’s responsibilities as captain of Team India in all formats delayed his surgery. With his focus now on ODIs, he can take advantage of the break after IPL 2025. Rohit has been playing as an impact player throughout IPL 2025, possibly due to his hamstring injury. The exact reason remains unknown.
Rohit’s decision to undergo surgery after IPL 2025 could be a turning point in his career. It might just give him the edge he needs to excel in the 2027 World Cup. Only time will tell if this decision pays off for the Indian cricketer.
Rohit’s road to recovery
Rohit’s road to recovery won’t be easy. He’ll need to work tirelessly to regain his strength and form. With the right training and support, he might just come back stronger than ever. The cricket world will be watching his journey closely, eager to see if Rohit can make a successful comeback.
