Sunil Gavaskar opined that the India National Cricket Team modern-day batting greats, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, will not be able to take part in the 2027 World Cup, which will be jointly hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia.
Kohli and Rohit are two of the biggest names to step foot into the international cricket arena, and they have showcased sheer dominance at the global stage for over a decade.
However, Kohli and Rohit are now at the fag end of their careers. Currently, Kohli is 36 and Rohit Sharma is 38, and by the time the next ICC Cricket World Cup arrives, they will be 39 and 40, respectively.
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have already retired from T20Is and Tests, and they will now only play ODIs. They can now solely focus on 50-over cricket and prepare themselves to the best of their abilities for the format. However, playing only one international cricket format after big gaps is something that might not work for them.
The selection committee will probably be looking at the 2027 World Cup - Sunil Gavaskar
"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?'
No, I don't think they will be playing - Sunil Gavaskar
Sunil Gavaskar was further asked about his views on whether Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma would be in the Indian squad for the 2027 World Cup, and he replied by saying that the duo won't feature in the marquee competition.
"No, I don't think they will be playing. I am being very honest. But, who knows, in the next year or so, if they strike a rich vein of form, and if they keep scoring hundreds and hundreds, even God can't drop them," Gavaskar said.
