India’s bowling coach Morne Morkel says Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are key leaders in the team as the 2027 Cricket World Cup approaches. He emphasizes their role in guiding the group, particularly in helping younger players find their way within the dressing room.

Morkel also points to Shubman Gill as a player he expects to benefit from this leadership and guidance. The comments, reported by NDTV, focus on team culture and mentorship rather than specific on-field tactics or selections, framing Kohli and Rohit as senior figures whose experience is meant to support India’s long-term preparation.

Across the two provided NDTV items, the core message is the same: Morkel underscores the leadership influence of Kohli and Rohit Sharma, and links that guidance to Gill and the broader squad’s readiness heading into the 2027 tournament.
