Will this be Virat and Rohit's last ODI WC? Big remark sparks drama

Cricket

Can two of India’s biggest cricket stars still play in the 2027 ODI World Cup? A former teammate’s recent comment has started a new debate.

Since both stars left T20Is, there’s been more talk about their ODI future. But many aren’t ready to count them out yet.

Ashwin's remark

The former India player says age shouldn’t decide their future. If they stay fit and motivated, they still have a chance.

What did he mean?

“This talk about Rohit and Virat isn’t right. Some people doubt they should play the World Cup, but I believe India needs experienced batters for South Africa,” he said.

He added

“If you want them in the team, decide now and give them full support for the next year. If not, the same doubts will return after every failure,” he added.

He concluded

“There’s still time, about 14-15 months before the World Cup. Decide now if you want them, support and prepare them, and manage their fitness at this stage.”

Will fans see these two legends play for India in ODIs on the big stage again? The debate is just starting.
