Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, the two greatest players of Indian cricket, retired from T20 and Test formats within just 10 months. After that, questions have been constantly being asked whether Virat and Rohit are going to say goodbye to ODI cricket as well. Along with this, the possibility that Virat and Rohit may play the 2027 ODI World Cup also continues to excite Indian cricket fans.
There is still more than 2 years left for the 2027 ODI World Cup. It is also an interesting question that how many ODI matches will Team India play before the World Cup? The answer is only 27. Yes, before the World Cup to be hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia after two years, the Indian team will play a total of 27 matches in 9 bilateral ODI series.
Will Rohit and Virat play the 2027 ODI World Cup?As far as Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma playing in the 2027 ODI World Cup is concerned, they themselves have not yet issued any statement on this subject. On the other hand, BCCI has also not said anything about their playing in the World Cup, but according to a report by The Week, BCCI's top officials may soon discuss with Virat and Rohit about their future in ODIs.
Meanwhile, Indian cricket team's head coach Gautam Gambhir has definitely made his intentions clear. Some time ago, Gautam Gambhir was asked in a press conference about Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli playing in the 2027 World Cup. On this, he said, "Right now India's focus is on the 2026 T20 World Cup, which is to be held in February-March next year. The 2027 ODI World Cup is still 2 years away. I have always said one thing. If you continue to perform well, then definitely play the World Cup." This statement of Gambhir shows that if Virat-Rohit are able to perform well consistently, then he will have no objection to both of them playing in the 2027 World Cup.
