Former Indian cricketer Krishnamachari Srikkanth expressed scepticism about Rohit Sharma's participation in the 2027 ODI World Cup due to his age, doubting his ability to compete past 40. While acknowledging Virat Kohli's fitness, Srikkanth criticized Gautam Gambhir's optimistic view of both players extending their careers to the 2027 World Cup. Gambhir, now head coach, previously suggested both could play if fit but noted the decision rests with the players. This debate arises as India prepares for their upcoming series against Sri Lanka.
