Currently, the talk of the hour is the India's former captain, Rohit Sharma’s retirement. According to several media reports, the third ODI between India and England at Lord's on July 19 could be the final international match of Rohit Sharma's career.

While neither the BCCI nor Rohit has officially confirmed the news, reports suggest that the veteran opener is likely to announce his retirement after the IND vs ENG 3rd ODI match.

It is important to note that Rohit has already retired from T20Is in 2024 and Test cricket in 2025. If the reports turn out to be true, the Lord's ODI will bring an end to an international career.

Before what could be his final appearance in Indian colours, let’s take a closer look at Rohit Sharma’s record at the Lord’s Cricket Ground.

Why IND vs ENG 3rd ODI Will Be Important For Rohit Sharma?

The third ODI at Lord’s will be important as it could be Rohit's last game. Reports suggest that the selectors have decided to move in a new direction and prepare a younger team for the ODI World Cup 2027. 

Young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal is expected to get more opportunities alongside captain Shubman Gill in the ODI setup.

Another reason this match is special because Rohit reportedly invited his parents to London to watch him play at Lord's. 

The series itself is also on the line; after England won the second ODI, the three-match series is tied 1-1. That makes the Lord’s match the deciding game. Rohit will hope to finish his career by helping India win an ODI series in England.

What Do The Numbers Signify?

Taking a look at his ODI numbers, he has only managed 15 runs in two matches at an average of 7.5 and a strike rate of 41.66. These numbers clearly showcase that he has struggled to make an impact at this venue in the 50-over format.

Rohit Sharma’s Recent ODI Performances

Rohit Sharma has enjoyed both highs and lows in ODI cricket recently. Against Australia in a three-match ODI series in 2025, Rohit made 202 runs in 3 innings at an average of 101 and a strike rate of 85.59.

He followed that with 146 runs in three matches against South Africa at an average of 48.67 and a strike rate of 110.61.

However, his form has been mixed since then; he scored only 61 runs in three innings against New Zealand. 

Overall, his performances in 2026 have been below his usual standards. In eight innings, he has scored 241 runs at an average of 30 with a strike rate of 88.6.

Despite the recent struggles, Rohit remains one of the greatest ODI batters in cricket history. In 287 ODIs, he has scored 11,757 runs at an average of 48.58 and strike-rate of 92.76.

Conclusion: A Chance To End On Memorable Note

If media reports are to be believed, the IND vs ENG 3rd ODI will be Rohit Sharma’s final international match. His record at Lord's may not be among his best, but the upcoming match gives him one final opportunity to create a special memory. 

A big score or a match-winning performance could make his farewell even more memorable.
