Rohit Sharma Faces Form Challenges Ahead of 2027 World Cup After New Zealand ODIs
Rohit Sharma has struggled with form during India's recent ODI series in New Zealand, scoring just 30 runs across four innings, including multiple low scores. These performances have intensified scrutiny over his role ahead of the 2027 World Cup, especially given challenging overseas conditions similar to those expected in the tournament. While selectors reportedly considered phasing him out, Rohit's continued presence has coincided with changes in selection leadership. Experts note his fitness efforts and potential to recover, but consistent runs remain crucial for his future in the team.
