A former Pakistan captain publicly supports the idea that India’s Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will still be key players heading into the 2027 ODI World Cup. According to the reports, the former Pakistan skipper says both Indian batters have “plenty to offer” and expresses confidence they will be part of India’s squad for the next ODI World Cup scheduled for 2027. The comments frame Kohli and Rohit as established stalwarts whose experience and performance will remain relevant as the tournament approaches. While the statements are presented as “unexpected backing” from Pakistan, they do not include specific criteria or team-selection details from either country’s selectors. The reports focus on the confidence expressed by the former Pakistan captain rather than providing new statistical evidence or announcements about injury status or selection plans. Overall, the coverage converges on one theme: a former Pakistan player expects Kohli and Rohit to continue playing at the international level long enough to feature in the 2027 ODI World Cup.
