World Cup 2027: Former Indian cricketer Krishnamachari Srikkanth has made a big statement on star cricketer Rohit Sharma, who captains Team India in ODI and Test formats. The next edition of the World Cup is to be jointly hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia in 2027. Team India's new head coach Gambhir says that if Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli keep their fitness and form right, they can play for the country in the upcoming tournament. After Gambhir's statement, 64-year-old Srikkanth has shared his views.
During a special discussion with his son Anirudh on his YouTube channel, the former cricketer said that Virat Kohli can be seen participating in the upcoming tournament. But he had doubts over Rohit's fitness. He said, 'Virat Kohli is a champion player. Rohit Sharma should not play the 2027 World Cup. He will die in South Africa.' He has made a satire looking at Rohit's current age. Hitman's current age is 37 years. By the next World Cup, he will be around 40 years old. Apart from this, his fitness also does not seem to be anything special.
Virat Kohli is also 35 years old. By the next World Cup, he will be around 37 to 38 years old. But the positive side with him is that his fitness level is quite good. Meanwhile, it is expected that he can also participate in the World Cup 2027 for the country.
