Gambhir is sure that Kohli and Rohit be in the 2027 World Cup

Gambhir's endorsement of Kohli and Rohit playing until the 2027 World Cup demonstrates his confidence in their abilities and value to the team. Ultimately, it will be up to the players to decide how long they want to continue based on their fitness level and motivation to compete at the highest level.

As Gambhir takes on the role of head coach, there is a sense of stability and continuity within the Indian team. The upcoming series in Sri Lanka will provide a platform for the team to showcase their skills under new leadership, with players like Suryakumar Yadav having the opportunity to establish themselves as potential leaders.

It will be intriguing to see how the team performs under Gambhir's guidance and how individual players evolve to contribute to India's success on the global stage. Kohli (35) and Rohit (37) have been identified by Gambhir as potential candidates to play until the 2027 World Cup, as long as they maintain their fitness levels.

Although Kohli and Rohit have retired from T20 Internationals, they will continue to represent India in Test and ODI formats. Both players have proven themselves on the big stage, including World Cups, and still have a lot to offer in major tournaments like the Champions Trophy and tours of Australia.

The decision for Kohli and Rohit to continue playing will ultimately hinge on their personal preferences and physical condition. Gambhir stressed the importance of team success over individual achievements but acknowledged the value of having experienced players like Kohli and Rohit in the squad.

Gambhir's coaching tenure will commence with India's tour of Sri Lanka, featuring a series of T20 Internationals and ODIs. Suryakumar Yadav has been named the T20I captain in place of Hardik Pandya, who is sidelined due to fitness concerns. The emphasis is on having reliable players who are consistently available for leadership roles.

Gambhir's confidence in Kohli and Rohit underscores his belief in their enduring quality and impact on Indian cricket. If they can maintain their fitness and form, both players have the potential to be key figures leading up to the 2027 World Cup.
