The Story in Brief
NDTV Sports reports that the BCCI and chief selector Ajit Agarkar have been urged to hold a clear discussion with captain Rohit Sharma about his role in the 2027 ODI World Cup. Rohit, one of the finest ODI batsmen, has faced scrutiny more over his age and fitness than his form.
As India begin shaping their squad for the next global tournament, there is a feeling the team management cannot go "series by series" with the veteran opener. A long-term decision on his place is needed.
The Indian Opinion
The chatter around Rohit Sharma's ODI future is understandable but often exaggerated. His age is highlighted, yet his recent form remains strong. The real concern is whether the BCCI is avoiding a straightforward conversation. What will settle this is how Rohit performs in the next 12 months and whether he himself sets a timeline for the transition.
