Speaking to ED Shareen and Gaurav Kapoor on the special episode of Breakfast with Champions on April 12, Rohit opened up about his future plans in his career. They said that, “I haven’t really thought about retirement. But, I don’t know where life takes you. I’m playing well at the moment too – so I’m thinking I’ll continue playing for a few more years and then, I don’t know. I really want to win the World Cup and the WTC final is in 2025, hopefully India will be successful in it.” Reflecting on India’s performance in the 2023 World Cup, Rohit revealed that the team had performed brilliantly throughout the tournament and one bad day came in the final. Hitman said that, “We played very well until that final. When we won the semi-finals, I thought, now we are just one step away. We are doing all the things right. What is the thing that can cause our defeat in the World Cup? Not a single thing came to my mind because I felt we had ticked all the boxes, we were playing good cricket.” Rohit concluded by saying, “We all had to admit a bad day and I think that was our bad day. Don’t think that we played bad cricket in that final, some things did not go our way.”
“Many things are not in the hands of players”- Ishan Kishan broke his silence on being removed from the central contract.

Also, despite BCCI’s warning, he did not play Ranji Trophy. In such a situation, his future in the Indian team was under question. Kishan, who returned to India on December 23, 2023, just before the start of the Test series against South Africa, had withdrawn from that tour citing mental fatigue and personal reasons. Following this, he made himself unavailable for his state team Jharkhand to play in the Ranji Trophy, which was scheduled to begin on January 5, 2024.

Many things came up on social media, but you should also realize that many things are not in the hands of the players. Ishaan Kishan He further said, ‘The only thing you can do is use your time properly. Also, if the previous Ishan Kishan had been there in this particular situation, what would have been his mentality. I never dropped the ball in the first two overs. No matter how well they are bowling. When he was asked what he was doing during the break. On this he said, “I was practicing, I had taken a break. During this time I have learned that you do not have to put pressure on yourself about things which are not in your control. You have to figure out what is (your) controllable and what is out of (your) control. There have been such changes in me that even if I am not performing, if I know someone else is not performing, I will go up to them and talk to them, I want to know what they are thinking. So those are the things that have helped me with the break.”

Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has praised Nitish Kumar Reddy for playing a match-winning innings for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in IPL 2024. In the match played in Mullanpur on Tuesday, April 9, Reddy scored 64 runs in 37 balls, thanks to this innings SRH set a target of 183 runs for PBKS. After this, Pat Cummins and Company registered a modest two-run victory by restricting Punjab to 180/6. In a video shared on her YouTube channel, Chopra was all praise for Reddy. Reddy was bought by SRH for ₹20 lakh in the IPL 2023 auction. In the match against PBKS, Nitish played a brilliant inning and brought his team out of a difficult situation and took the team to a big score. Aakash Chopra praised Nitish Reddy Chopra said, “Hyderabad’s batting faltered in the beginning. At one time it seemed that even 150 runs might be difficult. However, Nitish Reddy, he was a net bowler with Chennai till last year and won the last match by hitting a six on the last ball and here also he scored runs and scored good runs.” The former opening batsman further said, “The boy bats well. He has strength. In the first 15 years of this tournament, there were very few Indian finishers. That’s why whoever can finish gets his price skyrocketed in the auction. However, now you can look at players like Rahul Tewatia, Shivam Dubey, Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma, you can also put Nitish Kumar Reddy in the same list.” Along with this, Aakash Chopra also praised Abdul Samad (25 runs, 12 balls). He said, “Abdul Samad played a short innings but it was also important because going beyond 180 gives you a score worth fighting for. The big names, be it Aiden Markram, Travis Head or Heinrich Klaasen, did not score runs but the Indian players in the Hyderabad team brought the team forward.”
