Rohit Sharma’s 2027 World Cup Prospects Questioned by Krishnamachari Srikkanth Amid Gambhir’s Contradictions

Former Indian cricketer Krishnamachari Srikkanth has expressed skepticism about Rohit Sharma’s ability to participate in the 2027 ODI World Cup due to age-related concerns. Srikkanth’s comments challenge Gautam Gambhir’s optimistic view that both Sharma and Virat Kohli could extend their international careers to the 2027 tournament.

Srikkanth criticized Gambhir’s changing stance on Sharma’s future, noting that while Kohli’s exceptional fitness might allow him to play, Sharma, at 40, might struggle. This debate highlights Gambhir’s recent shift in perspective from questioning the players’ future performance to endorsing their potential participation in the upcoming World Cup.
