MS Dhoni’s view on 2027 World Cup

MS Dhoni shared his thoughts on whether senior players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli should play the ODI World Cup 2027.

Age should not be the criteria

Dhoni made it clear that age alone should not decide a player’s future in international cricket.

Performance matters most

According to Dhoni, players should be selected based on how they are performing, not how old they are.

Fitness is equally important

Dhoni stressed that fitness plays a key role, and only fit players who can perform consistently should be considered.

Experience still has value

He highlighted that experienced players bring balance and value to the team if they continue delivering results.

Final message from Dhoni

Dhoni believes that as long as Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli remain fit and in form, they should be in contention for the 2027 ODI World Cup.
