5 players who are younger than Rohit Sharma but are already retired

The current Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has come a long way and established himself as one of the best white-ball players in modern-day cricket with a record three ODI double centuries and four T20I tons.

Apart from that, the ‘Hitman’ also holds the record of having registered the highest individual score in One Day International cricket of 264 which remains intact to-date. He even remains the leading run-scorer in the shortest format having registered 3694 runs from 140 matches averaging 32.12 at a strike rate of 141.04.

Meanwhile, the journey was not easy for Rohit who is currently going strong at 35. Even though he was drafted into the Indian team in 2007 at a young age of 20 and was an integral member of the Men in Blue’s memorable T20 World Cup triumph and the Commonwealth Bank tri-series win down under during the 2007/08 season, it was only from 2013 onwards that he regularly started featuring in the Indian XI.

However, there are a few cricketers who are younger than the Mumbai cricketer and have already announced their retirement from the highest level with some even featuring in the cricket tournaments for the retired legends. Without further a do, here’s a look at-

5 cricketers younger than Rohit Sharma who are already retired

1. Abhimanyu Mithun 

Abhimanyu Mithun used to make sporadic appearances for the Indian team in the last decade. However, due to inconsistent performances and cut-throat competition in the pace department, he could not be a regular face in the Indian team.

Apart from featuring in four Tests and five One Day Internationals for India, Mithun has also played domestic cricket for Karnataka and represented the Royal Challengers Bangalore, Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL.

Despite toiling hard all these years eyeing a comeback into the national team, the Karnataka cricketer finally bid adieu to first-class cricket in October last year and is currently a part of the India Legends squad in the ongoing Road Safety World Series 2022. Surprisingly, Mithun is only 32 years old.
