Gambhir supports Rohit, Kohli to feature at 2027 World Cup

Rohit and Kohli displayed their prowess in 50-over cricket when finishing as the two leading run-scorers at last year’s World Cup and Rohit in particular continued that good form when finishing the recent T20 World Cup with 257 runs to finish only behind Afghanistan opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz in the run-scorer charts.

Gambhir is well aware of how much Rohit and Kohli have done for Indian cricket in recent times and knows any decision on their future will ultimately come down to the individual.

“This is a very personal decision. I can’t say how much cricket is left in them. Ultimately, it’s up to them as well, it’s up to the players. How much can they contribute to the team’s success. Because, ultimately, it’s the team that is important,” he said.

“But looking at what Virat and Rohit can deliver, I think they still have a lot of cricket (remaining). They’re still world-class players and obviously any team would want to have both of them for as long as possible.”
