Team India skipper Rohit Sharma says he will retire the day he feels he isn’t good enough to play the sport. The Hitman’s remarks come after India clinched the IND vs ENG series 4-1 after handing an innings and 64-run loss to England. Sharma opines that he has plenty of cricket still left in him.
Rohit Sharma ‘playing the best cricket’
“I think if one day if I wake up and feel I’m not good enough, I’m not feeling good enough to play the sport. I’ll just talk it out and let them know about it. But honestly, I feel in the last two or three years my cricket has actually gone up and I’m playing the best cricket,” Rohit Sharma says on Jio Cinema.
‘There is a culture’
Sharma reveals there is a culture of playing the game in the side that he is currently focusing on it. He adds that he wants to take out the statistical side from the team completely.
“I’m not too much of a stat person who looks into numbers and all of that. Yes, scoring big runs, those numbers are important, but eventually there is a culture of playing cricket in this team that I was focusing on and I am still focusing on. I wanted to bring a certain change. You know, players going out there and playing with a lot of freedom. That statistical side of cricket, I want to take completely out of this team,” he adds.

The credit goes to the entire team and it was pleasing to see,” he said.
