Shikhar Dhawan predicts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will lead India to the 2027 World Cup title.
Shikhar Dhawan spoke openly about the form and roles of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Dhawan believes that despite being in the final phase of their careers, both players remain India's greatest strength.
Dhawan stated that both players will perform brilliantly in the 2027 ODI World Cup. They will not only feature in the squad but also play the most crucial role in making India world champions once again.
"We have been friends since we were 15-16 years old. Rohit's century at Lord's shows how prepared he is. I am fully confident that Rohit and Virat will perform brilliantly and win the World Cup for India."
During a special event organized in Delhi, Shikhar Dhawan also highly praised the 15-year-old young player Vaibhav Suryavanshi. He described Vaibhav's style of playing as absolutely amazing.
Dhawan said that the fearless manner in which this young player batted on the field is truly unbelievable. Vaibhav's future in Indian cricket looks extremely bright.
Along with this, Dhawan appreciated Rohit Sharma's recent century at Lord's. He said Rohit proved his class by giving a fitting reply to critics with his bat.
The 2027 ODI World Cup is going to be jointly hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. The tournament is returning to South Africa after a long gap of 24 years.
Previously, the World Cup was held there in 2003. At that time, under Sourav Ganguly's captaincy, the Indian team suffered a defeat against Australia in the final match.
The Indian cricket team has started formulating its strategies for the upcoming World Cup. Before the tournament, India will get a chance to play a total of 15 ODI matches.
These 15 ODI matches will further strengthen the preparations of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Dhawan's confidence will boost the morale of both legends.
This statement by Shikhar Dhawan has brought new hope to Indian cricket fans. Now, everyone's eyes will be on the upcoming performances and fitness of Rohit and Virat.
