Former Indian legendary opener Sunil Gavaskar has warned the Indian fans to be prepared for more bad news coming their way, as he feels the likes of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli may not play the 2027 World Cup. Both Rohit and Kohli have retired from T20Is and Tests and will now feature after a long time in the three-match ODI series against Australia. 

Chief selector Ajit Agarkar claimed that both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are non-committal about their participation in the 2027 World Cup. Sunil Gavaskar feels it is fair to judge the two stalwarts on their form in the lead-up to the tournament, and with the Indian team playing very little ODI cricket, Gavaskar feels it will be tough for Rohit or Virat to retain good form.
