Rohit Sharma Wanted MS Dhoni-Style Exit From Test Cricket, BCCI Rejected: Report
The Global Kashmir
|May 22, 2025
Rohit Sharma wanted to travel to England for the five-Test series and retire midway just like Dhoni had done during the 2014 tour of Australia, according to a report by Sky Sports.

However, the offer was rejected by the BCCI and that reportedly led to the decision to retire ahead of the series. "Selectors wanted consistency during the series and offered Sharma the opportunity to go to the series, but not as captain. He decided to retire instead," the report claimed. Rohit stunned everyone with his decision to retire from Test cricket and Kohli followed suit just few days later. As a result, the BCCI selectors face a tough challenge to fill the void left by the retirement of the two stalwarts of modern cricket.
