I am not stepping away from the ODI format. Stop spreading rumors: Rohit Sharma.

Since the Australia tour, there has been a lot of speculation about Rohit's future in the team and his role as captain.

However, his match-winning knock of 76 in the final against New Zealand has revived his prospects.
