When he finally reached Rohit, Pant asked, “Bhaiya, ye stump leke kahaan jaa rahe ho?”Rohit, who had announced his retirement from T20Is after leading India to the 2024 T20 World Cup title, replied with a grin: “Kya? Retirement le lu? Har baar jeetenge to har baar thodi retirement leta rahunga?”To this, Pant laughed and said, “Hum to chahte hain khelo.”WATCH:The 2025 Champions Trophy was Rohit’s second ICC title as captain, following the T20 World Cup triumph in 2024.Rohit and Virat Kohli will next be seen in action during the ODI series against Australia in October, with both stalwarts already preparing for their ODI comebacks.
