In a stunning revelation, former India captain Rohit Sharma on Sunday (December 21, 2025) said he contemplated retirement after the heartbreaking loss to Australia in the 2023 ODI World Cup final as he “felt that the sport had taken everything out of me.”

Under the captaincy of Rohit, the Indian team enjoyed a dream run in that tournament at home and marched into the final with nine consecutive wins. However, Australia dashed their hopes in the game that mattered the most, with Travis Head scoring a match-winning hundred.
