For some time, there is discussion going on about the future of former captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Both the legends played ODI series in Australia after the Champions Trophy and performed well. Rohit also scored a century in the third ODI. Now on Sunday, Virat Kohli also scored a century in the first ODI against South Africa. After this, former Indian opener Kris Srikkanth made a big claim. He said that without Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, India cannot win the 2027 ODI World Cup.

Rohit and Virat’s place in the World Cup has been confirmed – Srikanth

Srikkanth said on his YouTube channel, “Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are playing at a different level. Without these two, the plans for the 2027 World Cup will not succeed. You need Rohit at one end and Virat at the other. No questions should be asked on this.”

He further said that this partnership in Ranchi had mentally destroyed South Africa. Srikkanth said, “If Rohit and Kohli bat for 20 overs, the opposition team loses. This is what happened against South Africa. They were literally out of bat.”

India cannot win the 2027 World Cup without Virat and Rohit – Chris Srikkanth

Former Indian opener Chris Srikkanth also emphasized that despite playing only one format, seeing the commitment and fitness of Rohit and Virat, all doubts should be gone forever. He says, “He has worked very hard. It is not easy to maintain this kind of mentality while playing only one format. As far as I am concerned, he has secured his place for the 2027 World Cup. We cannot win without him.”

There are still 2 years left in the 2027 ODI World Cup event, but the prediction of England veteran Michael Von has shocked everyone. He believes that the 2027 World Cup is going to win South Africa, a team that has never won the ODI Cup. Actually, the reason for his prediction is the recent performance of South Africa. The South African team is currently on a tour of England, where it has taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the 3-match ODI series.

Michael Vaughan often keeps on amazing predictions. This time he wrote on social media, “I think the 2027 ODI World Cup will win South Africa.” South Africa has performed amazing in the last months.

In the first ODI, England team was reduced to just 131 runs, in response, the African team won this match by 7 wickets. At the same time, South Africa scored 330 runs in the second match, which is the biggest score of a foreign team in ODIs at Lord’s ground. Africa won the match by 5 runs and took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series.

Recently, especially Matthew Breetjke has caught the attention of the cricket world. He has become the first cricketer in the world to have scored at least 50 runs in the first five innings of his ODI career.

Talking about the 2027 World Cup, it will be hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia together. A total of 14 teams will participate in the tournament, between which 54 matches will be played. South Africa and Zimbabwe have already qualified as hosts, but Namibia will have to prove its qualification with the help of qualifier tournaments.
