For the first time, the Indian team had to lose the one-day series against New Zealand at home. This unexpected loss has created a big discussion in cricket circles. India lost the series 1–2. After this result, the future of the team’s former captain Rohit Sharma, especially his performance in the 2027 ODI World Cup, has been raised again.

Rohit Sharma’s performance in this series was disappointing. He scored only 61 runs in three matches. His average was 20.33 and highest was 26. Most importantly, it was the first time since his return to international cricket in September that he failed to score a single half-century in an entire ODI series. Earlier he was in good form against Australia and South Africa.

In this situation, former New Zealand pace bowler Simon Dul questioned Rohit’s mental preparation and goals. According to Dull, the 2027 World Cup is still a long way off and the question is—does Rohit still have the hunger to fight for it? He feels that this mental aspect is very important for an experienced player.

Former Indian coach Ravi Shastri also agrees with this view. According to him, the real issue is how hungry the players are. When a cricketer has achieved so much, it becomes difficult to hold back the desire to prove himself again. That is why Rohit’s mental preparation is being discussed.

Rohit Sharma will be 40 years old at the time of 2027 World Cup. Very few cricketers have succeeded on the big stage at this age. Besides, Rohit will get a chance to play very few ODI matches in the coming days. While other players will be busy with T20 World Cup and domestic cricket, Rohit will mainly play in IPL. So, cricket lovers are now looking at how his form and preparation are.
