Rohit Sharma has once again grabbed the headlines, but this time for his super cool look. Days after shutting down his retirement rumours, Rohit Sharma surprised fans with a completely new look during his family vacation in London, England.
The former Indian captain is currently holidaying with his family in London after the conclusion of the three-match ODI series against England. Since then, several heartwarming pictures and videos have been winning hearts across social media platforms.
Rohit Sharma's stunning new look goes viral
In the viral photos and videos, Rohit Sharma was seen looking relaxed and enjoying his time in London with his wife Ritika Sajdeh and kids. And once again, the Hitman caught the attention with his new look, with many fans loving his fresh style.
Interestingly, Rohit met former India head coach Ravi Shastri while strolling in London. The two were spotted together on the streets of the city and happily posed for a picture. It was a casual meeting, but the photo soon grabbed the attention of fans across social media.
The senior opener was seen without his beard, giving him a clean-shaven and much younger look. He was dressed in a stylish black half-sleeve shirt with bold white patterns and matching black trousers. Fans were quick to notice the change, and many praised his fresh new style.

Rohit Sharma silences retirement buzz with stunning Lord's century
Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma had started the England ODI series on a disappointing note as he managed only 11 runs in the first match and followed it with 26 runs in the second game. Those poor scores led to massive discussions about his future in international cricket.
Soon after, reports started claiming that the third ODI at Lord's could be Rohit's final international match, with suggestions that the team management wanted to move on from the former Indian captain. However, Rohit made a stunning comeback and smashed a century at Lord’s.
Rohit hit 138 runs from just 110 balls. His brilliant knock included 17 fours and five sixes, showing that he still can dominate top-quality bowling attacks. The knock ended the retirement rumours and reminded everyone why he remains one of India's biggest match-winners.
BCCI backs Rohit as focus shifts to West Indies series
However, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) rejected those reports. The BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia and captain Shubman Gill stressed that there had been no talks about Rohit's retirement or his removal from the Indian team.
They also confirmed that the senior batter continued to be an important part of India's plans. Amid this, the ODI World Cup 2027 heads back to Africa after 24 years, with 12 host cities confirmed.
However, Rohit will need to continue scoring runs consistently to hold on to his place in the squad. He is now expected to return to the Indian colours later this year when the team hosts the West Indies for a three-match ODI series in September 2026. Currently, the Indian team is gearing up for the two-match Test series in Sri Lanka next month.
