Indian captain Rohit Sharma has already retired from T20Is after emerging as the second Indian captain, alongside MS Dhoni, to win the T20 World Cup trophy. Speculations have started about Rohit Sharma’s future and whether he will play in the next ODI World Cup in 2027.
Will Rohit Sharma play next ODI World Cup?
The Indian captain was disheartened when India missed out on winning the ODI World Cup in 2023. The biggest dream of the right-handed batter was shattered in the final against Australia at Narendra Modi Stadium. Rohit still has one aim: to guide Team India to the prestigious ODI World Cup victory.
However, will he be able to extend his career until the next ODI World Cup, which will take place in 2027? The Hitman is 37 years old. If he wants to participate in the next ODI World Cup, he will need to work on his fitness and play extremely well.
What did Rohit Sharma say on ODI World Cup 2027?
Rohit discussed his future aspirations with the Indian cricket team, expressing his desire to secure victory in the upcoming 2027 ODI World Cup.
“I’m still performing at a high level, so I intend to keep playing for a few more years. Winning the 50-over World Cup is a major goal of mine. Additionally, we have the WTC final at Lord’s in 2025, and I’m hopeful that we’ll qualify for that,” he stated.
