3 reasons why Rohit Sharma deserves to play till 2027 World Cup

Rohit Sharma's signature power hitting remains invaluable

Rohit occupies the singular position of holding the record for the most sixes across all international formats, with 657 maximums struck across Tests, ODIs and T20Is. Chris Gayle, the previous holder, finished with 553 sixes, leaving Rohit comfortably ahead. This distinction reflects his evolution as a destructive batter, particularly in limited-overs cricket where boundaries decide matches. His aggressive batting approach has become India's template in white-ball cricket, and younger players benefit from observing his methodical yet fearless approach to acceleration.

On African pitches where the 2027 World Cup will be contested, the ability to clear the boundary with precision and timing becomes a crucial asset. Few in the current Indian batting order combine experience with Rohit's shot-making range, making his presence a tactical advantage beyond his statistical contribution.
