The BCCI may not have Rohit Sharma in their plans for the 2027 ODI World Cup. MS Dhoni has been inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame. Virat Kohli’s replacement for the future has been found. Rishabh Pant, who suffered an injury scare, is fit as a fiddle. Pakistan may have a new all-format captain and RCB’s home stadium may be shifted.
Rohit Sharma won’t make ODI World Cup 2027?
When Rohit Sharma didn’t retire from ODIs after winning the 2025 Champions Trophy, the BCCI were shocked. They expected Rohit, who’d retired from T20Is a year ago, to leave white-ball cricket. But that didn’t happen. And he’s even retired from Test cricket. As of now, BCCI is yet to talk with Rohit about his future. This could mean that his desire to play until the 2027 ODI World Cup may not come true.
Sudharsan, the next Kohli?
Who will be India’s next cricket superstar after Virat Kohli? Former England spinner Monty Panesar thinks Sai Sudharsan could be Kohli’s heir. He thinks the southpaw plays a fearless and aggressive brand of cricket and could take over Kohli’s number four spot in Test cricket.
MS Dhoni inducted in ICC Hall of Fame
The ICC has inducted seven cricketers, including two women, into the Hall of Fame. MS Dhoni from India, Matthew Hayden from Australia, Sana Mir from Pakistan, Daniel Vettori from New Zealand, Sarah Taylor from England, and Hashim Amla & Graeme Smith from South Africa.
