Dinesh Karthik Statement: The former Indian skipper Rohit Sharma is at a very crucial stage of his cricketing career, where he is no longer the captain of the Indian team in any format. The 38-year-old is at the final phase of his international career, and it is being stated that the upcoming Australia tour might turn out to be the last for the star player. The ODI World Cup 2027 is still a few years away, and it is still a question whether Rohit Sharma will be included in the team or not.

In response to all these things, Rohit’s old teammate Dinesh Karthik stated that the former skipper is in a crucial place for the ODI World Cup 2027.

He said,

“I think from the moment he lost that 2023 World Cup final, his dream was to be a captain of a team that wins a World Cup—which he achieved in 2024 in the Caribbean.”

“If you look at Rohit’s stats since the 2023 World Cup, he has amassed upwards of 1000 runs at an average of 48.” We all know the strike rate. Rohit, as a batter, is extremely crucial for the upcoming 2027 World Cup. Although it is still a few years away, I have no doubt that if he puts his heart and mind into it, he will succeed. He is coming back from a break. I’m really looking forward to seeing Rohit Sharma, the batter.”

Further, Karthik stated that Rohit Sharma’s aggressive batting style in the powerplay will be very crucial. He said,

“When he is in form, he’s absolutely poetry in motion—especially in the powerplay, when he takes on bowlers fearlessly and sets up a solid platform for the rest of the innings.”

“Rohit has evolved beautifully. He’s not just playing for milestones anymore—he’s setting the tone for the team. That kind of selfless intent has been refreshing to see. Even in that World Cup final, the way he batted up front showed what he brings to Indian cricket.”
