While Virat Kohli is already looking like a favorite for 2027's ICC World Cup, according to ex-coach Saba Karim, Rohit Sharma still hasn't earned a spot on the team.

Dinesh Lad, Rohit Sharma's childhood coach, has backed him and said that he doesn't need to prove his fitness. Rohit has to clear the fitness test before joining the ODI team.

The clip, which has been widely shared across social media platforms, captures Rohit navigating an indoor section of a venue before suddenly stumbling and falling to the ground. Although the incident appeared harmless, it quickly became a talking point among fans, generating thousands of views, comments, and memes.

Virat Kohli's place in the 2027 ODI World Cup squad is assured. His fitness and consistent scoring have convinced selectors. Rohit Sharma faces a challenge, though. He must demonstrate improved fitness and batting form to be considered for the future.

Rohit Sharma’s childhood coach Dinesh Lad has backed the Indian captain to ignore critics, stay focused, and deliver strongly in the ODI format ahead of the 2027 World Cup.

Kaif said he was not surprised by reports of Suryakumar losing the T20I captaincy, suggesting the move follows the precedent set by Rohit Sharma's ODI sacking.

The veteran opening batsman faces persistent scrutiny regarding his position in the One Day International setup as the national team builds toward the upcoming ICC World Cup in South Africa.
