Shikhar Dhawan Shows Faith in Rohit and Kohli for 2027 World Cup
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli stand at the border for the 2027 World Cup. The BCCI has shown age as a main concern, which makes it uncertain for both of them to play. However, Shikhar Dhawan, a former Indian batsman, supported Rohit and Kohli, telling how they would bring experience to the field.

All teams have started to prepare themselves for the 2027 World Cup. India will surely remain at the centre, since the team has some unfinished business in the World Cup. Despite being the hosts of the previous season, they finished as the runner-up, which makes them more eager to secure a title win.
For this, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are also targeting the 2027 World Cup, with the big tournament likely being their last in the international career. However, amidst all this, the BCCI has reportedly cited some problems which they might face with Rohit and Kohli ahead of the tournament and it primarily focuses on age concern.
The former Indian opener, Shikhar Dhawan, has now reacted to the same. He said,“Of course they can and they should play. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are both experienced, and you need experience going into the ODI World Cup, which is only a year away.”
Our Take
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are also giving their best to ensure that they are at their prime levels for the 2027 World Cup. While Kohli has been able to do well over the last two series, it remains to be seen how Rohit Sharma regains his form ahead of the big tournament. The statements made by Shikhar Dhawan also make sense, since Rohit and Virat bring down a lot of experience to the Indian team.
