New Delhi, 10 October: Former Indian cricketer Robin Singh said Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be big assets to the Indian team in the ODI World Cup 2027 in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia.
Rohit and Virat have been in good form in recent ODIs, with the former scoring two centuries and a 92 in his last five innings, and Kohli hitting one hundred and two fifty-plus scores (74 and 65) in his last five outings. With the World Cup less than a year away, they seem to be in line to play the global showpiece.
Speaking exclusively to IANS, former India all-rounder Robin Singh highlighted that the experience and form of the two former captains would be crucial for the Men in Blue in the World Cup.
“I think experience is one thing. But more importantly, I think it’s their form that is important. And of course, you know, with age you have enough and more experience. So that’s really not a problem. They know what to do,” Robin said
He stated that the two have been doing “exceptionally well” in staying fit and will be a big asset for the team going into the global showpiece. “It’s more about staying in the moment, staying fit and keeping playing well. I think they are doing that exceptionally well. So there are no complaints. They definitely will be a big asset to the Indian team,” he said.
India have experimented with several players in the recent ODI series against the West Indies as they chalk out their plan for the best playing combination for the World Cup. Singh highlighted that head coach Gautam Gambhir has a formula and is looking to pick the players in the upcoming ODI series around his World Cup strategy.
“Look, I think they are trying out as many players as possible. They do have their formula in place. So I am pretty sure Gautam and his team members will have their formula. I am sure he has a way of what he would like to do in the World Cup. What type of players he wants for the World Cup.
