Krishnamachari Srikkanth: Team India's new head coach Gautam Gambhir has presented a long-term vision as soon as he took charge. Gambhir has already started making predictions from the Champions Trophy to the 2027 ODI World Cup. Gambhir made cricket fans very happy by expecting Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to play in the World Cup.
The new coach said in the press conference that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma can play ODI cricket as long as they want. If they remain fit, both the players will definitely be seen playing in the ODI World Cup 2027. However, former cricketer Krishnamachari Srikkanth does not seem to agree with this statement of Gautam Gambhir at all. Srikkanth questioned Rohit Sharma's fitness on YouTube Live and said that Rohit should not play the 2027 World Cup.
Srikanth's strikes:
Srikkanth attacked Rohit Sharma while talking to his son Anirudh in an interview. 'Virat Kohli is a champion player. Rohit Sharma should not play the 2027 World Cup. He will die in South Africa.' Srikkanth's statement is becoming increasingly viral on social media and Rohit's fans are now trolling the 1983 World Champion player.
The special thing is that this is not the first time Srikkanth has targeted Rohit Sharma. Srikkanth had also said during IPL 2024 that Rohit Sharma should change his name to No Hit Sharma. Rohit Sharma was being criticized for his poor batting this season, which is why Srikkanth also raised questions on Rohit. However, Rohit Sharma shut the mouths of all critics by performing brilliantly as captain in the T20 World Cup 2024 and being India's top scorer.
Was Rohit on Srikanth's target in 2011 too?
Another noteworthy thing is that many questions were raised when Rohit was not included in the Indian team for the 2011 World Cup. When Team India won the World Cup in 2011, the chief selector of the team was K. Srikkanth. Srikkanth took a shocking decision by not including Rohit Sharma in the World Cup team. Yusuf Pathan got a chance in place of Rohit.
In this way, Srikkanth keeps making statements against Rohit Sharma and on the other hand, the Hitman proves all these critics wrong most of the time not with words but with his batting and now captaincy skills. Now Rohit's fans are hoping that the Raw Superhit Sharma will regain his rhythm and captain Team India first in the Champions Trophy and later in the 2027 World Cup, score runs and win another World Cup for India.
