"If he puts his heart and mind…": Former India player’s message to Rohit Sharma citing 2027 World Cup, his name is…

New Delhi: Former Indian captain Rohit Sharma is at an interesting juncture in his career. He is no longer a captain in any format, and at 38, it can be said that his international career is in its final stages. The 2027 World Cup is still two years away, and the question arises: will he continue playing until then? His longtime teammate Dinesh Karthik believes Rohit will be crucial for this tournament.

Is Rohit’s dream still burning?

Karthik told Cricbuzz, “Since losing the 2023 World Cup final, Rohit’s dream has been to captain a team that can win the World Cup. He achieved it in the Caribbean in 2024. This fire is still burning, and he wants to win the 50-over World Cup.”

The question is: will Rohit’s hunger for victory continue into 2027, and will he take the field with the same passion?

Will Rohit’s batting in the powerplay be a game-changer for the team?

According to Karthik, “When Rohit is in form, his batting is like art. Especially in the powerplay, when he fearlessly takes on the bowlers and sets a solid platform for the other batsmen.”
