Former India opener Wasim Jaffer says Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are unlikely to continue playing international cricket beyond the ODI World Cup 2027. In his view, both players are more likely to retire around or after the tournament rather than extend their careers further.
Jaffer’s comments focus on the expected endpoint for these two senior India batsmen, linking their future to the 2027 World Cup as a likely final major international assignment. The reporting presents the remarks as a personal assessment from Jaffer rather than a direct statement from Rohit or Kohli or an official decision by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
Across the provided outlet coverage, the core message is the same: both Rohit and Kohli are assessed as nearing the end of their international playing futures, with World Cup 2027 framed as the likely last World Cup appearance.
