Since Virat retired, I stopped watching Tests.
Since Surya retired, I stopped watching T20Is.
Now, since Rohit retired, I will stop watching ODIs.
Thank you, cricket.

Still forced to retire mid series
Oh Rohit, the hero of my childhood, thank you for saving me in ways I'll never be able to explain. You have been the light that brightened my life. You taught me to never give up and to never stop believing. Thank you for making this sport beautiful!
The only 2 trophies he hasn't won, he literally had the entire fate in his own fucking hands to win them 💔
Will surely be his top 2 most regretful things if he looks back at his whole career now
Dear @ImRo45
Some players score runs. Some players win matches. But very few players become an emotion. For me,you’re that emotion.
I’ve celebrated your centuries like my own achievements and felt heartbroken whenever you got out early. Watching you walk out to bat brings a different kind of peace because I know magic can happen at any moment.
Feeling of hearing "Rohit Sharma is walking in to bat" is something else
You’ll always be our Hitman, our captain, and one of the biggest reasons we fell in love with cricket
I know your retirement day will come someday, but I hope it isn’t July 19🤞🏻
We all know how much the World Cup meant to you. No one deserved to lift that trophy more than you ❤️🙇🏼♂️
Rohit Sharma not being able to touch the ODI World Cup despite being one of the most influential captains the format has ever seen..will always haunt. It will always be a lesson that no matter how hard you try..if life has other plans..it just has other plans.
Sigh.
Dear @ImRo45,
As far as I've known you, every time you've been criticised, you've answered with your performances. We need that same Rohit once again at Lord's. Don't disappoint. Your 2027 World Cup dream is at stake, and one big knock is all it takes to silence every critic.
You once said "Those three pillars with the globe in the middle...every cricketer dreams of lifting that trophy."
What happened to that dream? Remember those words. Remember who you are.
You were once labelled a home-track bully, but you answered by becoming the player with the most ODI centuries in SENA.
You were mocked for failing in big tournaments, but you replied with back to back 500+ run World Cup campaigns.
You were criticised for not scoring overseas Test centuries, but you silenced everyone with a match-winning hundred at The Oval.
You were told you were only good enough to captain in the IPL, but you responded by leading India to back to back ICC titles without losing a single match.
You were trolled over your fitness, yet became the oldest player to win Player of the Series.
You were labelled a choker in ICC knockouts, but today no Indian has won more Player of the Match awards in ICC knockout matches than you.
You were criticised for your T20 World Cup performances, then became India's highest run-scorer and lifted the trophy.
You were questioned about your ICC finals record, then answered by winning the Player of the Match award in an ICC final.
You were written off in the ICC rankings, but fought your way back to become the World No. 1 ODI batter at the age of 38.
Now they're saying you don't deserve a place in India's 2027 World Cup squad. Reply the way you always have, with your bat. One unforgettable knock at Lord's. Don't let the dream of lifting those three pillars with the globe in the middle end like this.
Don't disappoint, We'll always be with you🤞🇮🇳
Whether he retires after Lord's or not one thing will never change I'll always be grateful that I got to witness Rohit Sharma's era Through the highs the heartbreaks the criticism and the unforgettable masterpieces I never stopped believing If this is truly the end I just hope
Messi is a dangerous player. If you watch that first goal again, you’ll notice he deliberately delayed the pass to Enzo until he had drawn every England player to himself. Only then did he release it. My God. It really is true that no one sees the game like he does.
