Former Indian ODI captain Rohit Sharma's participation in the upcoming ICC ODI World Cup 2027 remains a topic of speculation. With Rohit no longer leading the side, several fans and cricket pundits believe that he might not feature in the marquee tournament.
At 38 years of age, the veteran opener will be under the selectors' scrutiny regarding both form and fitness. However, former cricketer Mohammad Kaif holds a different view. Kaif highlighted Rohit's proven ability to score runs consistently, stating that such reliability could secure his place in the World Cup squad. He further emphasised that Rohit's vast experience and composure in high-pressure situations makes him an invaluable asset during ICC events.
Kaif expressed strong confidence in Rohit's performance, highlighting his stellar record as an opener. He noted that Rohit is well-versed with conditions across the globe, having played on a variety of pitches and adapted effectively to both spin and bounce. Hence, Kaif believes that the right-handed batter will continue to perform even better in the upcoming matches.
