(Image Credits: Getty)When asked after the second Test against the West Indies about Rohit and Virat Kohli's chances of playing in the next 50-over World Cup in 2027, head coach Gautam Gambhir urged the need to stay in the present. He said in the presser (as quoted by IANS):"Look, ODI World Cup is still about two and a half years away and I think it is very important to stay in the present. Obviously, there are quality players coming back and their experience is going to be helpful in Australia as well. Hopefully, those two guys will have a successful tour and more importantly, as a team, we will have a successful tour."The prolific batting duo were the top two run-getters in the 2023 World Cup hosted by India. However, the Men in Blue suffered a heartbreaking loss to Australia in the final. Hence, both Kohli and Rohit are likely sticking around in the international arena to lift the World Cup in 2027.
