Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli just retired from Test cricket to prolong their career and give a shot at the ODI World Cup in 2027, a trophy that eluded the Indian greats at home in 2023. While Rohit had mentioned about his availability in the ODIs in his retirement post, there was no such mention from Kohli on Monday.
Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar came up with a honest assessment of both Kohli and Rohit’s futures, claiming the Indian duo will not play in the ODI World Cup in two years time in jointly-hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia.
“They have been massive performers in this format of the game. Again, the selection committee will probably be looking at the 2027 World Cup. They will be looking at whether they will be able to be in the team for the 2027 World Cup?” Gavaskar told Sports Today.
“Will they be able to make the kind of contributions they have been making? That will be the thought process of the selection committee. If the selection committee thinks ‘yes, they can’ then both of them will be there for that,” added the legendary cricketer.
