India’s ODI captain Rohit Sharma is currently spending time in London following the recently concluded ODI series against England. The veteran opener ended the three-match series with an excellent 138 off 110 balls, producing a vintage knock despite India’s defeat.
Rohit has already expressed his desire to proceed playing until the 2027 ODI World Cup, scheduled to be held in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. Now 39, Rohit has retired from Test and T20I cricket and has been specializing in maintaining his fitness.
On Friday, a photograph of him with former India head coach Ravi Shastri went viral on social media, with fans praising his fresh recent look and plenty of saying he appeared years younger.

Pakistan Great Backs Kohli And Rohit For 2027 ODI World Cup
Former Pakistan captain Zaheer Abbas believes Indian stars Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma still have plenty to contribute and expects each to feature in next 12 months’s ODI World Cup.
Speaking on a Pakistani television channel, the legendary batter, widely referred to as the “Asian Bradman” for his remarkable run-scoring record, said Kohli and Rohit remain among the many world’s finest batters and that their age shouldn’t be a barrier to playing within the marquee tournament.
“Each are very, superb by way of skill and, given their experience, I don’t see any reason why they shouldn’t play the World Cup. Age shouldn’t be an element so long as they’re fit and proceed scoring runs,” he said.
Zaheer Abbas, who scored greater than 100 first-class centuries during his distinguished profession, believes India will greatly profit from the experience of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma on the 2027 ODI World Cup, which will probably be co-hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia.
“I watched Rohit rating 100 against England, and it remains to be a pleasure to observe him bat. He plays so effortlessly and with such sweet timing,” Zaheer said.
Rohit Sharma is predicted to return to motion in September when India tackle the West Indies in a three-match ODI series, with the opening game scheduled for September 27.
