Is Rohit Sharma being targeted? Kaif's words raise questions

Cricket

Rohit Sharma’s spot in India’s 2027 World Cup plans is under debate, but one former India star thinks the criticism is over the top.

Rohit getting targeted?

Mohammad Kaif thinks many are waiting for Rohit Sharma to fail. He questions why Rohit faces so much criticism despite all he’s achieved.

What did he mean?

“I don’t understand why people want Rohit Sharma to fail. He’s led India well and scored against top teams. We should hope he keeps this form for the 2027 World Cup. India needs experienced players like Rohit and Virat,” Kaif posted on X.

As India plans for the future, selectors are considering younger players. Rohit’s age and long-term fitness are now big topics of discussion.

This isn’t the first time people have doubted Rohit Sharma. He’s silenced critics before with match-winning performances when it mattered most.

Should India keep supporting proven match-winners, or is it time to focus on the next generation ahead of the 2027 World Cup?

The debate isn’t over yet. If Rohit keeps scoring, the talk will quiet down, but one bad series could bring the questions back.
