Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will not be part of the Odi World Cup Indian team in 2027, feeling the legendary Sunil Gavascar. In an exclusive cottage with India, Gavascar said that while both doughs were massive 50 Over artists, it is unlikely to get to Marquee, which is gone for two years.
Rohit and Virat announced their retirement from the test cricket in five days. While Rohit said that on May 7 would not play in the format of the red ball, the virat followed Rohit to retire 12 May. The duo also announced its retirement from the T20i format after winning the World Cup 2024.
The duo recently won the Champions trophies in the United Arab Emirates and played an undefeated campaign at the Pakistan tournament. Their performance was also perfect at the last ODI World Championship, where India reached the final with undefeated during the tournament.
Gavascar talked about the duo very much and said that the main question would be whether both players could continue with the cricket brand with the high intensity they have played over the last three years.
“In this format of the game they were massive artists. Again, the selection commission is likely to look at the World Cup 2027. Will they look at” They will be in the World Cup team by 2027?
Don’t think they will play: Gavsakar
Asked about his personal opinion, Gavascar said it was unlikely that they could both keep their position in the Indian team.
“No, I don’t think they will play. I am very honest. But who knows, probably next year, if they hit the rich vein of the forms, and if they still scored hundreds and hundreds, even God cannot drop them,” Gavascar concluded.
While Rohit will be 40 at the time the ODI World Cup is played, Virat 38 will be. Rohit’s fitness will be the main problem, given that he did not show him in the first hand in the Indian Premier League 2025, which showed him in almost all his shifts.
