Rohit Sharma sets his eyes on playing in upcoming 50-over World Cup, World Test Championship final
The Hindu
Rohit Sharma dreams of winning upcoming World Cup editions in 2025 and 2027, reflecting on India's past defeats.
With the hurt of India's defeats to Australia in the World Test Championship and the World Cup finals still burning his mind, skipper Rohit Sharma nourishes the dream of playing in those tournaments' upcoming editions in 2025 and 2027.
The 36-year-old Rohit was part of India's 2007 T20 World Cup victory, but he counts the 50-over showpiece as the real stuff.
"I am playing well at the moment and I am thinking of continuing for a few more years. I really want to win that World Cup. The 50-over World Cup is the actual World Cup. We have grown up watching the 50-over World Cup.
"There is the World Test Championship final happening at Lord's in 2025. Hopefully, we will make it there," Rohit said in a YouTube chat show – Breakfast With Champions – that was also attended by British pop singer Ed Sheeran.
Six months have passed since India succumbed to Australia in the World Cup final at Ahmedabad, but Rohit found it tough to come to terms with that defeat.
"It was happening in India. We played well until that final. When we won the semis, I thought, we were just one step away from it (victory). I thought, what's that one thing that can make us lose that final, and honestly, nothing came to my mind," he said.
