With a high temperature and humidity in Dubai during the afternoon, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli both took small spells off the field during India's bowling.

If many social media reports are to be believed, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma might retire from One Day International after ICC CHampions Trophy 2025 just like he retired from T20I post lifting World Cup trophy last year.

In an unexpected turn during the ongoing India vs Pakistan match at the Dubai International Stadium, Shubman Gill was seen captaining the Indian side in Rohit Sharma’s absence. However, after the 25th over, Rohit Sharma returned to the field and resumed his role as captain.

Rohit has been at his absolute best in the 50-over format, with the 2023 ODI World Cup being the best example. The Champions Trophy, hence, would be pivotal for the cricket world to judge his skills in the format. The skipper would be keen to bow out on a high.

Rohit Sharma's wife Ritika Sajdeh and their daughter Samaira cheered enthusiastically for Team India in their clash against Mohammad Rizwan's Pakistan in Dubai.
