Rohit Sharma, the legendary Indian cricketer, has been struggling with his fitness lately in the ongoing edition of the IPL, and major concerns have arisen about his availability for the ICC ODI World Cup in 2027.
Rohit Sharma has been proving time and time again why he is often known as one of the greatest players in the history of 50-over cricket. He is India's third-highest run-getter in ODIs and holds several records in the longer format of white-ball cricket.
He has recently been named in the squad for the upcoming tour against Afghanistan. This series will mark the beginning of proceedings for India and the veteran batter, as they prepare for the ICC Cricket World Cup in 2027.
Rohit Sharma has not struggled to keep up good form ever since he stepped down from the role of captaincy. Rohit Sharma, since stepping down from captaincy, has shown some promising form and determination after losing around 10 kg of weight.
A Revsportz reporter has slammed critics for unnecessarily targeting the former Indian captain and discourses around his retention till the 2027 ICC World Cup. According to reports, his fitness is absolutely on track.
The Indian star had suffered a hamstring injury that ruled him out of the IPL midway through the season after he suffered the injury against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. He then returned to action and played a scintillating knock to see MI through to a win.
Why has Rohit been playing as an Impact player despite his return to IPL 2026?
Rohit Sharma has been largely used as an impact player ever since the 2025 season. Despite featuring as an Impact sub, he has been in promising form with the bat and amassed over 450+ runs in the last season of the IPL.
The Mumbai Indians veteran has also featured as an impact player despite his return from injury against the Lucknow Super Giants. The MI management has argued that Tilak Varma and Naman Dhir can both be used as bowling options, and hence, Rohit is the only player available as an Impact sub.
Rohit's impact has been everlasting in the IPL, as the 39-year-old is ageing and is likely to be 40 by the time of the ICC ODI World Cup 2027. Many have claimed that he is the best judge of his body.
Ajit Agarkar had earlier updated on Rohit's availability for the Afghanistan series
Rohit has been drafted into the Indian team for the upcoming series against Afghanistan; however, the BCCI national selector highlighted that his availability will be based on his fitness and is subject to clearance from the BCCI medical team.
He informed that though not an expert in the field, he works on the reports of the BCCI medical team and the physio. He also kept the chances of Rohit being ruled out open, as he claimed that he will act as per the final verdict on the star batter's fitness, which is likely to come two weeks before the start of the series.
Rohit Sharma has been putting on a masterclass, especially on challenging overseas tracks. He was the player of the series against Australia and will look to dominate when India visits England later this year for a long white-ball series.
