Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma to retire from ODI before 2027 World Cup? Here’s what we know
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who retired from Test and T20 cricket formats, could also retire soon from ODI as well, according to a report by Dainik Jagran.
Many assume that the cricket duo would retire after the 2027 World Cup in South Africa, but the report says otherwise.
According to the report, the upcoming ODI series in Australia this October could mark the end of their careers in the 50-over format. If cricketing stars Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma decide to play in the ODI 2027, they will be expected to participate in the Vijay Hazare Trophy later this year. That's because decision-makers want players likely to play in the World Cup to stay in touch with the one-day rhythm, the report added.
Earlier, players participating in red-ball cricket were required to play the Ranji Trophy before India toured England earlier in 2025.
This very condition to play in domestic cricket could lead to their early retirements after the ODIs against Australia in October.
Additionally, the decision maker’s focus is reportedly on the young players.
Australia tour is set to begin on October 19 in Perth, followed by games in Adelaide and Sydney.
