India’s incoming chief selector speaks on Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma’s 2027 World Cup plans

Prospective chief selector Parthiv Patel and former all-rounder Irfan Pathan evaluated India's roadmap toward the 2027 ICC ODI World Cup during a recent broadcast engagement. Pathan argued that veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli should remain core components of the batting order alongside Shubman Gill, provided they maintain their physical conditioning and output.

Parthiv also noted that the squad retains a substantial slate of upcoming fifty-over fixtures to experiment with combinations prior to the global showcase.

The discussion followed an on-field interaction between Rohit and Parthiv in Guwahati ahead of the second fixture of a home series against the West Indies. That particular match concluded with an eight-wicket victory for the hosts, extending their series advantage.

The bilateral schedule features further fifty-over contests in New Zealand and at home against Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe.
