their age and possible concerns over fitness and form have brought their places into question While the duo are still the pillars of India’s ODI setup. Kohli still appears to be firmly in head coach Gautam Gambhir and BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar ‘s plans, but Rohit’s future appears less certain, as things stand. Speculation over Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s spots in Team India’s plans for the 2027 Cricket World Cup continue, with just over a year to go till the tournament begins.
So I think it should not be a discussion even,” he said, in an interaction with India Today . Rajkumar stated that there should simply be no debate regarding Kohli’s spot in the team. “I think you should see for yourself what he (Kohli) is doing, what he has done in the last few matches, and how he is doing it on the field. “God has made him for cricket and the work ethic he had was simply brilliant, and that is why he became such a big player. He has given the fitness mantra not only to the cricketers, but to the whole country. “I mean, as a player, I think he (Rohit) is a tremendous player. Undoubtedly, he’s a match-winner. On his given day, he’s a match-winner,” he stated.
Rajkumar Sharma, Virat Kohli’s childhood coach, delivered a blunt verdict when asked about the veteran duo’s chances of making India’s 2027 World Cup squad.
So he has contributed a lot to Indian cricket, and I’m really proud of him,” he further said, speaking on Kohli.
