2027 ODI World Cup

With their retirement from both T20 Internationals and Test cricket, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will now focus solely on ODIs for India. Many believe the iconic pair is aiming to continue until the 2027 ODI World Cup, potentially making it their final international assignment.

However, with the emergence of young talent and the constant pressure to perform, their spot in the squad is no longer guaranteed. Whether Virat and Rohit manage to stay in contention for one last ICC tournament or choose to step away before then will depend on form, fitness, and team dynamics over the coming years.
