Will Virat & Rohit play in the 2027 World Cup?
Both players are expected to play in the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2027, and things will become clearer after the Australia ODI series. Their focus is on fitness, form and consistency; however, they will have lots of gaps in between many series, so maintaining the same form and consistency is going to be a challenge for them.
Reports suggest that Virat and Rohit will play domestic tournaments like the Vijay Hazare Trophy to maintain their form and consistency. It’s going to be a bit difficult, but they are expected to cross these hurdles and play the upcoming ICC tournament in 2027.
