Questions are once again being raised regarding Rohit Sharma’s ODI future. Rohit, who has retired from Test and T20 International, is now representing India only in ODI cricket. He has expressed his desire to play in the ODI World Cup to be held in 2027. However, when the tournament will be played in October-November, Rohit will have turned 40. In such a situation, his fitness and form can be the biggest challenge for making a place in the team. Former Australian captain Steve Waugh believes that Rohit still has the ability and experience to score runs in big matches. However, according to him, it will not be easy to make it to the 2027 World Cup on the basis of talent alone. Rohit will have to work continuously on his fitness and for this he will have to make necessary hard work and sacrifices. Steve Waugh said that Rohit’s preparation and his attitude towards the game will decide whether he will be able to play in the next World Cup or not. Steve Waugh raised questions on Rohit’s preparation.
Steve Waugh said while talking to Star Sports that only Rohit Sharma can answer this question. He said that even at this age, Rohit has the necessary skills and experience, but the most important thing is whether he is fully prepared to play the World Cup. Is he prepared to train hard and make the necessary sacrifices? According to Steve Waugh, if Rohit gives 100 percent in terms of preparation and commitment, then he definitely has a chance to play the World Cup. Rohit responded with the bat against England. Rohit’s last international match came in the ODI series against England in July. Before the third match of the series, the discussion of his retirement had intensified. It was believed that the match to be held at Lord’s could be his last match. However, Devjit Saikia, Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, rejected these reports. After this, Rohit gave a brilliant reply with the bat and played an excellent inning of 138 runs in 110 balls. Although India lost the match, Rohit’s innings showed that he still has the ability to make an impact on a large scale.
