India's new head coach, Gautam Gambhir, recently made statements about Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli that thrilled Indian cricket fans. Gambhir mentioned that if they remain fit, both players could continue playing ODI cricket until the 2027 World Cup. However, former cricketer Krishnamachari Srikkanth criticized this statement, questioning Rohit Sharma's fitness during a YouTube live session. Srikkanth boldly suggested that Rohit shouldn't be part of the 2027 World Cup squad.
Srikkanth's History with Rohit Sharma
Krishnamachari Srikkanth, who was the chief selector when India won the 2011 World Cup, did not select Rohit Sharma for the squad back then, choosing Yusuf Pathan instead. Srikkanth has consistently made statements against Rohit Sharma, questioning his abilities. However, Rohit has often proved Srikkanth wrong with his performances. Rohit's fans are hopeful that he will captain Team India in the 2027 World Cup and lead the country to another championship.
