Rohit Sharma’s 92 and two centuries in his last five ODIs have put him on the selector’s radar as India readies for the 2027 World Cup.
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli smashed a century and chalked up two half‑centuries in the same stretch, making the duo a lethal combination for the Men in Blue.
Robin Singh, speaking to IANS, says their age is irrelevant when you’re hitting runs like that; he calls them big assets. Gambhir is already mapping out a squad that blends experience with youth, and the pacers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami are also in the mix, their recent spells proving they can dominate on seamer‑friendly tracks.
India’s next assignment is a four‑match ODI series against Sri Lanka in February, a test that could seal the final World Cup spots.
