Kohli and Sharma: A Crucial Test Awaiting for 2027 ODI World Cup

Ravi Shastri, the former head coach of the Indian cricket team, has asserted that the upcoming ODI series against Australia will be a litmus test for Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma as they vie for spots in the 2027 ODI World Cup.

According to Shastri, a successful series against Australia will be crucial for both players, who have been pivotal for India's white-ball team but face challenges in maintaining form, fitness, and motivation.

Highlighting the emergence of young talents like Shubman Gill and Tilak Varma, Shastri underlined that the established players must prove their worth amid growing competition.
