The Issue

We, the fans of Indian Cricket, request BCCI President Mithun Manhas, Honorary Secretary Devajit Saikia, and Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar to reconsider the long-term plans for the 2027 ODI World Cup and keep Rohit Sharma in active consideration for the squad.

As per some latest reports from a handful of renowned sources, it has been stated that our most beloved and legendary batter Rohit Sharma is not being considered for the upcoming ODI World Cup in 2027. This decision has left all of us puzzled, given Sharma's unparalleled experience and proven track record on the international stage.

Rohit Sharma, often referred to as the 'Hitman' of cricket, has been an integral part of India's cricketing success over the years. With numerous centuries and match-winning performances under his belt, his contributions to the team have been immeasurable. In fact, Sharma is the only cricketer in history to score three double centuries in One Day Internationals and has consistently displayed his prowess in high-pressure situations, which are frequent in world cup matches.

It's not that Rohit has been underperforming for a while . In fact , he is currently the 4th ranked ODI batter in the world !

The decision to exclude such an experienced player from the 2027 World Cup does not just impact the dynamics of the team but also denies the younger players the opportunity to learn from one of the best. His leadership qualities and experience in navigating challenging matches are assets that the Indian team should leverage to enhance their world cup campaign.

We must come together to urge the selectors to reconsider their decision. In a game that is as much about skill as it is about strategy, having a player like Rohit Sharma can be the difference between victory and defeat. He embodies the spirit of excellence and determination that Indian cricket stands for.

We call on cricket authorities, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), and all stakeholders to ensure that our team heads into ODI World Cup 2027 with the best possible lineup which includes Rohit Sharma.

Let us unite in our support for Rohit Sharma and ensure his inclusion in the squad.
