MS Dhoni backed Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to play in the 2027 ODI World Cup, which will be co-hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. According to the former India captain, age of a player shouldn't determine whether he should play or retire. Instead, he believes that as long as fitness and performance are not a concern, a player should not be told how long he can play for the country.
Soon after helping India win the Champions Trophy in 2025, Kohli and Rohit retired from Test cricket. Fans were concerned whether they will feature in the impending ODI World Cup. Both the stalwarts have made it clear that playing in the marquee event and helping the Men in Blue clinch the title is one goal they have before bidding farewell to the game.
The five-time IPL Indian Premier League winner said that the two iconic batters should be allowed to decide whether they want to play the global event.
