Yuvraj Singh’s father, Yograj Singh, has made a bold statement on Rohit Sharma’s future, insisting that he should not think about retirement anytime soon.In fact, he went as far as to say that Rohit’s class and technique are good enough to keep him going until the age of 45. At a time when questions loom over the veteran opener’s longevity, the remark has reignited debate around Rohit’s career span.“The man about whom so many people speak rubbish, Rohit Sharma — I said that day that Rohit will be my man, the man, my man,” Yograj told News18 CricketNext.“The way he batted, his batting on one side and the rest of the team’s batting on the other side. His innings on one side and the rest of the world on the other.“That’s his class. You can say, ‘Rohit, aapki hume 5 saal aur zarurat hai yaar‘ (Rohit, we need you for five more years, man), so please do more for your country, work on your fitness and everything.

Do you think Rohit Sharma should retire soon?
“Put four men on him, make him run 10 kilometres every morning. He has the class to play till 45 years of age, if he wants,” he added.Yograj also advised Rohit to continue playing domestic cricket to keep up his fitness.“I believe you should play domestic cricket; the more you play that, the fitter you’ll be. Who got the Man of the Match in the final? Rohit Sharma.“So you should only talk about things that you know. If you want to talk about his game and fitness, do that only if you have played at some level. Do you feel ashamed talking like this?” Yograj said.
