Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are no longer in India’s Test and T20 team. In his absence, the Indian Test team, captained by Shubman Gill, performed a good performance in England to draw the series 2-2. Now Virat and Rohit will be seen playing only in ODI matches. Both senior players have not said anything to play in 2027 ODI World Cup, but head coach Gautam Gambhir is trying to prepare a new team. In such a situation, due to the emerging players, Rohit and Virat can have a leaflet from the 2027 World Cup.
On one hand, former cricketer Mohammad Kaif’s statement is making headlines. He has said that Rohit Sharma will hardly remain captain till 2027 ODI World Cup. According to Kaif’s prediction, Shubman Gill can replace Rohit in ODI too soon. If the captaincy is snatched from Rohit’s hands and he is unable to maintain his rhythm, then his leaf can also be cleaned from the ODI team. On the tour of England, Mohammad Siraj impressed a lot, who bowled 185.3 overs.
Mohammad Kaif’s statement
Mohammad Kaif said, “In England, Shubman Gill acted as a captain. He also worked patience under pressure. He will also get ODI captaincy because we do not know how long Rohit Sharma will remain captain. Gill is ready to takeover. Gill’s white ball cricket is good and now he has done well in the test in front of everyone’s eyes.”
Yashasvi Jaiswal has done well in T20 and Tests so far, he will definitely get a chance to play as an opener in the ODI team in future. Sai Sudarshan may not have been able to do well in the Test series, but the opportunities are constantly getting that the team management wants to install him in the top order batting. His data in domestic cricket also prove his ability. Akashdeep and the famous Krishna are also seen performing effectively.
What will happen to Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli?
