Rohit Sharma's recent form answers questions about his 2027 World Cup place
Rohit's 363 runs in four ODIs since doubts about his future emerged have answered questions about his place in India's 2027 World Cup plans.
Rohit Sharma has scored 363 runs in four ODIs since speculation emerged about his future in the format following India's tour of England. His 138 off 110 balls at Lord's in the third ODI against England and his 101 off 75 balls in the second ODI against West Indies have quieted doubts about his place in the 2027 World Cup squad. Rohit also became the fastest opener to 10,000 ODI runs during the third match against West Indies.
Rohit adapted his approach across the four innings, playing aggressively at Lord's, rotating the strike in Guwahati, and curbing his attacking instincts in Mullanpur after early wickets. He fell eight short of his 36th ODI century in the series finale but had stabilised the innings after India slumped to 3 for two.
The 38-year-old's resurgence comes at a time when India face a tight schedule with limited ODIs before the 2027 World Cup. His ability to adapt to different situations has reinforced his value as an experienced presence in the top order.
CricHubb Take
Rohit's form shows that experience and adaptability remain valuable even as India blood younger players, particularly in a format where opportunities to build match-winning innings are limited.
