In the lead-up to the next World Cup, there are concerns over these two batting legends' futures, mostly because of their ages. Rohit Sharma is going to turn forty, while Virat Kohli will turn 38 in November.
Age is obviously a factor in sports, and the fact is also undeniable that both of the veterans are nearing their retirements. But that remains an unsolved question. During India's previous series against England, there were massive claims across media outlets; some, quoting sources, claimed Rohit Sharma could retire soon after the India vs England 3rd ODI match at Lord's.
Rajeev Shukla comments on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's future
Rajeev Shukla has made a recent claim on the future of the two former India captains. According to Shukla, whether they will be selected for the 2027 ODI World Cup completely depends on the selectors' call, but from his own point of view, both of the batters still have a lot to offer to the Indian cricket team.

If the claims are to be believed, then 'Hitman' was originally not in the selectors' plans for the upcoming ODI World Cup. Rohit himself might have learnt about the future planning of the selectors and the head coach. Yashasvi Jaiswal, a young opener, was supposed to be the replacement for Rohit Sharma ahead of the flagship event.
BCCI recently held a meeting to review the team's recent performances. Ajit Agarkar was expected to attend the meeting, but he remained absent. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia later informed the media that Agarkar was not in town then.
