MS Dhoni says fitness, not age, should decide Rohit and Virat’s 2027 World Cup roles, citing their strong recent form.

MS Dhoni said age should not prevent Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from playing in the 2027 ODI World Cup, stressing that fitness and performance should determine selection. He emphasized that experience comes from sustained participation, not age, and that players should be judged on their current form. Both Rohit and Virat have shown strong recent performances in ODIs and domestic matches, with Virat scoring 616 runs in nine innings and Rohit amassing 409 runs, including a century and multiple fifties. Their next international appearance is expected in a three-ODI series against England starting July 14.
