Team India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak has stated that there is no point in discussing the 2027 World Cup when Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are still actively playing.

Their past performances have been indicative of them performing at their best. It will automatically spark a frenzy about their participation in the 2027 World Cup.

Coach Sitanshu Kotak believes people need to focus on the present and that there is no point in discussing their future aspirations at this stage.

The Indian batting coach further emphasised that chatter about the 2027 World Cup shouldn't happen now, as it is two years away.

"I don't know why we need to look at all this - he's really batting well, and I don't see any reason we need to talk about his future. Just the way he's batting, it's just brilliant. The way he's performing, [and] his fitness - there are no questions about anything.

"I feel such things [the 2027 World Cup] shouldn't even be spoken about after the way he plays and performs. That is something which is two years away. There's no point talking about all this. For us, once the team arrives and we start practice, we just enjoy," Sitanshu Kotak said at the post-match press conference.
