Rohit Sharma, the Indian Cricket Team’s captain in ODIs and Test cricket, led team India to the title in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. He was very much crucial to India’s quest for the trophy. Sharma performed as both batter and captain to lead India to the title. After the T20 World Cup 2024 final, the Hitman announced his retirement from the shortest format of the game.

Now, the question arises: Will Rohit Sharma play in the 2027 ODI World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia? Former India cricketer, Saba Karim, has talked about it.

He felt that Sharma has been batting beautifully and his batting form is on the rise. So, if he keeps his form, fitness and continues scoring, then he can definitely be a part of that World Cup.

Sharma led the team beautifully in the ODI World Cup 2023. He batted with intent and took the attack to the bowlers in all the matches. His innings always removed the pressure on the middle-order batters.

Moreover, he was sensational as a captain and India won all the 10 games till the final of the ODI World Cup. However, the team suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the final against Australia and Sharma’s dream of winning a ODI World Cup trophy was also shattered.

Meanwhile, India’s new Head Coach, Gautam Gambhir has said that Virat Kohli and Sharma are the two stalwarts of Indian cricket. They are still important for the Indian team. He also went on to say that if they keep their form and fitness intact, both of them can definitely play in the 2027 ODI World Cup.

Sharma will be 40 years old by the time the World Cup starts. If he can keep the fitness and the urge to play cricket and compete, the Hitman might keep his dream of winning a ODI World Cup alive.
