For 2027 World Cup, Rohit Sharma to collaborate with Abhishek Nayar to focus on fitness, batting
Rohit Sharma, the Indian cricket team captain, has quashed retirement rumors from ODIs after leading India to their third Champions Trophy title in 2025. Despite speculation about his future, Rohit confirmed he has no plans to retire from the 50-over format, stating he will continue playing as long as he performs well and feels needed by the team.
Rohit, who will turn 40 by the 2027 ODI World Cup, is reportedly collaborating with assistant coach Abhishek Nayar to enhance his fitness and batting skills ahead of the tournament. This strategic planning indicates his intent to remain competitive and contribute to India's success in the 2027 World Cup.
After a successful Champions Trophy campaign, Rohit's focus now shifts to the IPL 2025. His inclusion in the upcoming India vs England Test series will be decided post-IPL. While Rohit remains committed to ODIs, speculation persists about whether he will continue as captain or pass the reins to a potential successor like Shubman Gill in the future
