There has been a new turn in Indian cricket, when there is still a ray of relief among the most well-known names.
After Gautam Gambhir became the head coach, he has given a clear indication about Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli that there is still a place for these two world-famous cricketers in his plans.

In today’s interview before the tour of Sri Lanka, Gambhir made it clear that both Rohit and Virat can still do a lot in cricket. Their level of fitness and motivation can get them selected for the 2027 ODI World Cup.
Gambhir said, “One thing I can say clearly is that both those players (Rohit and Virat) still have a lot of cricket left. Most importantly, with the Champions Trophy and the big tour of Australia, obviously they will be very motivated.”
In Rohit Sharma’s conversation, he made it clear that he will continue to be the captain of the Indian team in ODI and Test cricket, and will lead them to the 2025 Champions Trophy.
Even BCCI secretary Jay Shah had already hinted at this, but Gambhir’s statement has made it more clear.
Gambhir said in his press conference, “I believe they have shown what they can do on the big stage, be it the T20 World Cup or the 50-over World Cup.”
At the time of the 2027 World Cup, Rohit will be 40 and Kohli 38, but Gambhir gave his opinion on this that “hopefully if they remain fit and active, they will be able to play the World Cup as well.”
Gambhir and selector Ajit Agarkar held a joint press conference ahead of the tour of Sri Lanka, where Rohit Sharma has been made the captain of the ODI team and Suryakumar Yadav has been appointed the captain of the T20 team.
Shubman Gill has taken over the role of vice-captain in both formats, while Hardik Pandya did not get any role in the leadership group.
Gambhir’s appointment has given a new direction to Team India, where the age of the experienced players is making their cricketing plans more convenient. Along with this, the future of Indian cricket also looks secure with names like Rohit and Kohli.
