'His retirement will be decided': Kaif makes bold statement on Rohit's future
Mohammad Kaif backs Rohit Sharma and says retirement is a personal decision, not dictated by public opinion.
Rohit Sharma scored a historic 138 off 110 balls at Lord's, becoming the first Indian batter to hit an ODI century at the venue.
Kaif suggests that public support from Shubman Gill or BCCI for the 2027 World Cup would motivate Rohit.
Rohit has scored over 12,000 runs and 34 centuries, and has never lost a white-ball series as captain.
Kaif urges an end to unnecessary noise so Rohit can play peacefully.
