Will Rohit Sharma's fitness decide his 2027 World Cup place?

Former Australian captain Steve Waugh stated that Rohit Sharma's participation in the 2027 ODI World Cup will depend more on his commitment and preparation than his run-scoring ability. The assessment places fitness alongside form as a critical factor for selection.

Rohit's recent century at Lord's has shifted the conversation around his future. The performance has made any potential drop politically difficult ahead of the next major tournament.

Pakistan cricket legend Zaheer Abbas has backed both Rohit and Virat Kohli to continue until 2027, arguing that age should not matter if they maintain performance levels. Both batters remain central to India's white-ball plans.
