Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan opened up about veteran batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma playing the 2027 ODI World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. Pathan said that it would be challenging for the batting duo to maintain fitness and form while playing only one international format.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are expected to be seen in action next during the three-ODI series in Australia, starting October 19. It will be their first outing for India since the Champions Trophy final. With the next World Cup in 2027, there is speculation about whether Kohli and Rohit will be included in the squad.
