Robin Uthappa also issued a reminder about the things that panned out during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, which made life hard for the Indian team on the Australia tour.
In 2024, he had himself relinquished captaincy by retiring from the T20I format post-T20 World Cup win, and he stepped down as Test captain and retired from the format ahead of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025.
In five innings, Rohit Sharma scored just 31 runs and opted out of the fifth Test in Sydney, handing back the captaincy to Jasprit Bumrah, who guided India to a win in 1st Test. However, India ended up losing the series 1-3.
“He’s gonna be, in all honesty, 41 when that World Cup comes around. Right? So, you gotta keep that in consideration as well. And for all intentional purposes, I think it’s done with taking the decision when the stakes are low rather than when the stakes are high, you don’t want another situation like what happened in Australia.
They know how they get their runs and how they perform well - Robin Uthappa
Robin Uthappa further backed Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to continue their heroics in the 50-over cricket, but warned about their reflexes slowing down. He stated:
"I don’t see form kind of dipping that sense, but it’s just about reflexes and does that work, and how those things work because right now, they are not playing a lot of cricket as well. The only cricket they’ll find themselves playing is perhaps the IPL and One Day cricket, and perhaps maybe some domestic One Day matches if they do come by."
If he remains fit, then I think he’ll be a part of the next World Cup - Robin Uthappa
“If he remains fit, then I think he’ll be a part of the next World Cup because, like I said at the start of the pod, I think their templates for success in ODI cricket is clear for them. They know what works for them… However, Rohit Sharma is someone who’s basically upped the ante even in One Day cricket, and I think in the last 3-4 years, he’s played in a much quicker nip, and I think that’s been a transformation of sorts from him.”
