BCCI refutes rumors of Rohit Sharma's last One-Day International at Lord's

Ahead of the third ODI between India and England at Lord's, speculation about Rohit Sharma’s future has reached a fever pitch. Some media outlets claimed the upcoming game would be his final One‑Day International on the hallowed ground, and that selectors were planning to drop him thereafter.

Rohit’s statistics at Lord's tell a clear story: two ODIs have produced a duck and a 15‑run knock, while his overall five‑match tally across formats amounts to 133 runs at an average of 22. After a modest 11 in his first ODI and 26 in the second, the pressure to improve his record is palpable.

Addressing the chatter, BCCI secretary Devjit Saikia told IANS that the board has not engaged in any dialogue about Rohit’s place in the limited‑overs setup and labeled the rumors as completely unfounded. No official decision has been taken regarding his role beyond the series.

With the stakes high, the Indian camp will be hoping Rohit can silence doubters by delivering a brisk, high‑impact innings that could rewrite his Lord's narrative.
