Meanwhile, Rohit was seen at a special event in Maharashtra. He had reached there on the occasion of the inauguration of a cricket academy, where thousands of his fans reached to see and meet him.

Big demand of fans: One more World Cup

During the event, Rohit won the hearts of his fans by talking to them in Marathi. Rohit Pawar, a member of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, expressed his feelings towards Rohit Sharma on this occasion and said, "I request Rohit on behalf of the whole country that we need one more World Cup and who do we want to see leading India in that World Cup?" On this statement of Pawar, a crowd of thousands raised slogans of 'Rohit-Rohit'. After this, Pawar said that now the public wants you to lead India in another World Cup. Rohit Sharma was seen smiling at this, but he did not react to it.

Team India's achievements under Rohit Sharma's captaincy

Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, India ended a long wait by winning the T20 World Cup title this year. This victory was historic for Indian cricket, as the team won the title after facing many difficulties under Rohit's sensible captaincy. Apart from this, Team India's performance was also excellent in the ODI World Cup held last year. India won 10 consecutive matches in the tournament, but unfortunately had to face defeat against Australia in the final. In this tournament, Rohit scored 597 runs in 11 matches at an average of 54.27, which shows his batting ability very well.

2027 ODI World Cup: Questions about Rohit's future

The next edition of the ODI World Cup will be played in 2027. Rohit Sharma will be 39 years old at that time, and if the tournament takes place between September and November, he will be 40 years old. In such a situation, the question arises whether Rohit will be able to continue playing ODI cricket till that age? He recently retired from this format after winning the T20 World Cup 2024 title. Now he is playing only in ODI and Test cricket for the Indian team.

Looking at Rohit's age and fitness, the question is also being raised whether he will be able to maintain his performance in ODI cricket till 2027. However, in the recent past, Rohit has worked a lot on his fitness, which makes it likely that if he maintains his fitness, the next ODI World Cup can also be his name.

Conclusion

Rohit Sharma is not only a great batsman but has also proved to be a successful captain. Fans' expectations have always been high from him, and now all eyes are on whether he will lead Team India in another World Cup. The journey to the 2027 World Cup can be challenging for him, but if Rohit Sharma maintains his fitness and performance, then he can certainly lead Team India to success in that tournament as well.
