Former Indian assistant coach Abhishek Nair has revealed that Rohit Sharma’s preparation was planning on the mind for the 2027 World Cup. Nair, who was seen part of his training session, has reported that he could not do it in India in 2023.
India vs Australia White-Ball series has finally come, and the Indian men’s senior selection committee has announced the squad for blue men. Australia is also rebuilding its ODI squad, in which many great people have retired at the same time.
Rohit Sharma is in OD Squad, dismissed as captain
After a lot of speculation and controversy around the two great people, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, both returned to the Indian team for the T20I series against Australia.
While Virat Kohli supported another great knock against Australia in the Champions Trophy semi -finals, Rohit Sharma shut down the bad form with 79 winning the match against New Zealand in the Champions Trophy final.
Despite his unmatched records, Rohit was snatched from Captaincy, and Shubman Gill was declared as the new captain of the Indian ODI side for the upcoming Australian tour. Rohit, although in the squad, is suspicious about continuing to the 2027 ICC World Cup, which was his major target to continue in the 50 -over format.
Abhishek Nair revealed extensively on the resolution of the Indian captain
As the captain of the Indian side, Rohit Sharma took India to the T20 World Cup 2024 and the Champions Trophy 2025 in his two ICC titles. He did not only get his hand on one of the limited overs ICC titles, which was the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.
After losing it in the final in 2023, Rohit determined to secure it in the next version of CWC in 2027. Since she would be 40 years old by that time and her suspicious fitness often appeared as a danger for her selection, Sharma resorted to a strong fitness rule under the clock of former team partner and friend Abhishek Nair.
After Abhishek Nair, after Captain, Rohit’s Snab said, “He was working hard. He was preparing for the 2027 World Cup and proud of India, which he could not do in India last time. So I hope that the communication went well and Rohit is on the same page which is the selected and Indian team management,” Abhishek Nair commented on the post of Rohit.

Is Virat Kohli’s participation in 2027 CWC also uncertain?
Unlike Rohit, veteran batsman Virat Kohli often has the reputation of being one of the most worthy players in the history of sports. Neither Kohli’s fitness nor his form will allow his snub from the Indian ODI side.
Virat announced his retirement from the other two formats of the game, but decided to continue in the one -day format. Although there is no clarity on Virat’s retention in the Indian team, it can be assumed that his position is not in danger as former captain Rohit Sharma.
