India Coach Backs Rohit Sharma & Virat Kohli to Feature in the 2027 ODI World Cup

Virat Kohli encountered two ducks but turned the clock in Sydney with an unbeaten 71 off 81 balls. Rohit and Virat steered India towards a win in the 3rd ODI.

Morne Morkel has expressed that the famed Indian duo has significant experience, and they should be in the 2027 ODI World Cup as long as they are eager to put in the grind.

"Sure, they're quality players. As long as they're happy to put the hard work in and the fitness, I've always believed in experience, and to have that experience, you don't find that anywhere. They've won trophies, they know how to play big tournaments.

So for sure, if they mentally and physically feel that their bodies can do that, it's still a long way, the World Cup, by all means," Morne Morkel said at the pre-series press conference in Ranchi.
