Kris Srikkanth is not happy with Gautam Gambhir for backing Rohit Sharma for ODI World Cup 2027
Former chief selector Kris Srikkanth, however, slammed Gautam Gambhir for backing Rohit Sharma to play in the ODI World Cup 2027. Srikkanth feels that Sharma does not have the fitness to survive the ODI World Cup 2027 and he also took a dig at Gambhir for taking a U-turn on his fitness stance.
“He took a U-turn now, saying there is no player like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. After becoming head coach, he said that both have a lot of cricket left and hopefully they will fit for the 2027 World Cup,” Srikkanth said on his YouTube channel.
Meanwhile, Sharma had stated earlier that he can play till the ODI World Cup 2027 and he does not look much ahead, as of now. Rohit Sharma is yet to win a ODI World Cup trophy – his biggest dream. He led India to the final of the ODI World Cup 202 by winning all the 10 games in the lead up to the final but suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the final.
