Rohit Sharma and 2027 World Cup: Will the Hitman Continue in ODIs?

Will Rohit Sharma feature in the 2027 ODI World Cup? The question has remained a topic of discussion in Indian cricket. However, the latest developments show that the veteran opener continues to be part of India’s ODI plans. Rohit was included in India’s ODI squad for the upcoming West Indies series, while Yashasvi Jaiswal has also been selected. Earlier, Rohit produced a memorable 138 off 110 balls against England at Lord’s, becoming the first Indian men’s player to score an ODI century at the venue.

With the World Cup still ahead, Rohit’s fitness and ability to maintain his workload will remain important factors in selection discussions. India captain Shubman Gill has also said there had been no discussion within the team about Rohit retiring from ODI cricket. Meanwhile, Jaiswal remains an option in India’s ODI setup, giving the team another opening choice as preparations for the 2027 World Cup continue.
