What Rohit Sharma said about possibility of playing in 2027 World Cup


Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma has spoken about his future sports career and the next ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2027.


He said that he has kept all the doors open regarding his future sports career. He has also said that it is not yet decided whether he will be a part of the next ICC Men's Cricket World Cup in 2027.


He said, "It will be difficult to say right now. I want to see how well I can play. At the moment, I am playing well and I am enjoying whatever I am doing with this team and the team is also enjoying my presence, which is a good thing." He said, "I cannot say anything about 2027 because it is far away, but I have kept all my doors open."


Earlier, after winning the ICC Champions Trophy, Rohit had dismissed the speculations about his retirement from ODIs.


Rohit had said, "I am not going to retire from this format. I want to make this clear so that no further rumours are spread."


Rohit's form and leadership has been under immense scrutiny ever since India's double whammy of Test series defeats against New Zealand (0-3 at home) and Australia (1-3 away from home). However, when it comes to ODI cricket, Rohit has led India flawlessly, whilst also finding form with the bat along the way.


Under Rohit's leadership, India have now won 15 of their last 16 ODI games in major ICC events, with the sole defeat coming in the 2023 World Cup final.


"I am not going to retire from this format. Just to make sure no rumours are spread moving forward," Rohit further clarified at the end of the post-match press conference.
