Former Indian opener Aakash Chopra said that both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will control their performances in a one -day international (ODI) cricket forward, adding that the consistency will be their ODI 2027 World Championship. The main tournament under the captain of SHUBMAN GILL.
In the generation shift, India was called SHUBMAN GILL as the ODI team captainReplacing Rohit Sharma for the upcoming series of three matches in Australia since October 19. Browsing the baton comes two years before the next ODI World Championship, which will take place in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia.
While Gill was promoted to the leading role, Rohit and Kohli kept their seats in a one -day team. The main selector Ajit Agarkar failed to detail About the team management plans for two older players with regard to the World Championship in 2027, but made it clear that their performances would be taken into account when deciding on the selection.
Rohit, who accumulated 11 168 Runs at 273 ODIS, led India to the fame of masters in March. However, the veteran has now been asked to make a way for Gill, which is inclined in the future to lead India in all formats. Meanwhile, Kohli enjoyed a strong campaign for the masters trophy, in the semifinals scored century and vital 84.
“Leave what has happened so far, but both will be tried according to their individual form. If you feel that they should not be judged, whoever plays India will be tried and there is nothing wrong with it.
Did he judge otherwise?
The former opener, now recognized scientists, added that both players will be evaluated differently due to their age and level of fitness, despite their proven ability to supply the main tournaments.
“I understand what you are saying. I fully understand why you say that. Because both are legends, you go the same way.
Rohit, 38, will be 41 at the time of the World Championship in 2027, while Kohli will be 39. Both will eagerly maintain their form and fitness, although a limited number of ODI accessories before the tournament remains a problem. It is unlikely that India would play more than 20 ODI in front of the World Cup, and when Rohit and Kohli, who have already left the tests and T20is, the reflector will be on their ability to stay ready for the match.
Ajit Agarkar chairman explained that the team leadership expects Rohit and Kohli to appear in a domestic cricket to stay in touch when they do not play international level.
For the time being, both the team management and the two stalwarts are likely to take things one match and one series at a time. All eyes will be on an experienced duo because they become a very expected return in the ODI series in Australia.
