Lords: Tomorrow, on July 19, the Indian Cricket Team will play the final and series-deciding ODI match at Lord’s against England. Suddenly, before this match, a news spread on social media yesterday that this is going to be Rohit Sharma’s last match. However, BCCI later informed that there is no truth in this news. The historic Lord’s will be the last time Rohit will play in the Indian jersey, not at all. Even Devjit Saikia has revealed that the hitman is also on the mind of next year’s ODI World Cup.

But what a record at Lord’s this is Rohit Sharma? Statistics show that Rohit Sharma has played a total of five matches across all formats of cricket at this historic ground. Scored a total of 133 runs. Hitman batted at an average of 22.16. A personal best of 83. Rohit has played only one test match in this field. He scored 103 runs in two innings. Among them, the highest score in an innings is 83.

Rohit Sharma played 2 matches in one day format in this field. Hitman scored 15 runs. Personal maximum is 15. In other words, he could not open the account in one match. Rohit scored 14 runs in this field in 2 matches in T20 format. In other words, Rohit has not been successful as a batsman at Lord’s so far. Can Hitman play a big innings in the last one-day match against England?

Meanwhile, the BCCI has rubbished Rohit’s retirement speculation that has been going on all day. It was being claimed that the decision was entirely left to Rohit whether he would retire thereafter. Reports were even claiming that Rohit arranged for his parents to be present at Lord’s after knowing the selectors’ plans for his future. But when the speculations about Rohit’s future and retirement started, then BCCI Secretary Debjit Saikia put water to those speculations. He said, ‘There is a lot of speculation about the future of Rohit Sharma in the media. I want to make it clear that Rohit will play his last match at Lord’s on Sunday, there is no internal discussion. Rohit Indian teamis a regular member and will continue to represent the country as long as he remains part of the team’s plans. To put it simply, Lord’s One Date is not his last match.
