Ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia, India does not play much ODI cricket this year, as they are lined up for the England series in England. But Virat Kohli is set to miss that series as well, as he will be out for nearly 6 weeks. This will be a big concern ahead of the mega event.
While speaking on a Star Sports segment ‘Follow the Blues’, Irfan Pathan was questioned about Rohit-Kohli’s participation and importance in India’s team at the 2027 ODI World Cup. Pathan stated, "What ability does Rohit Sharma bring with him? He plays the short ball very well. Cut and pull are his strengths. He easily gets time against short deliveries.
His experience at No. 3 will be useful- Pathan on Kohli's experience in South Africa
The T20 World Cup winner also emphasised Kohli’s experience of playing at No. 3, as the former India captain has been a match-winner for the side over the years and has shown unreal consistency in the 50-over format. No batter has more runs than Virat Kohli batting at this position.
Will Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma make it to 2027 World Cup?
Irfan Pathan firmly believes that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will be in the 2027 ODI World Cup team for India. He also thinks that both cricketers will be keeping a firm eye on their fitness as age has been catching up with the batters, and he also pointed out that Rohit has dropped several kilograms in recent times.
