Rohit Sharma’s future after the World Cup is a hot topic, and Muttiah Muralitharan has weighed in with his thoughts. Despite India’s loss in the World Cup final, Sharma’s performance was exceptional, scoring 597 runs in 11 matches at a strike rate of 125. However, at 36 years old, his future in the next World Cup is uncertain.
Muralitharan believes that Sharma can play another ODI World Cup if he focuses on improving his fitness, similar to his teammate Virat Kohli. He commended Sharma’s performance in the World Cup and highlighted his potential for the T20 format as well. Muralitharan emphasized the importance of fitness after 35 and expressed confidence that Sharma has the desire and ability to play in another World Cup.
Muralitharan’s comments suggest that age should not be the only determining factor in a player’s future, and fitness and performance should be the key considerations. Despite speculation about Sharma’s future, Muralitharan’s support and encouragement may give him the motivation to persevere and continue playing at the highest level.
