Multiple reports say former India batter Sunil Gavaskar has put forward a suggested India squad for the ODI World Cup 2027, with the selection discussed as a “rated 9/10” exercise despite the tournament being still about 14 months away. The articles present the squad as part of early speculation around India’s possible team composition for the marquee event, rather than a final or official list. The reports also note notable omissions from the proposed group, including wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, and batter Sanju Samson. In addition, the coverage frames the discussion as an appraisal by Gavaskar and highlights that permutations and combinations are already being considered so far ahead of the World Cup. While the headlines indicate a positive overall assessment of the proposed squad’s balance, the reports keep the focus on the speculative nature of team building at this stage, with player availability, form, and selection decisions expected to evolve over the coming months.
