Sunil Gavaskar, India’s former cricket legend, believes Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma deserve automatic inclusion in India’s 2027 ODI World Cup squad, regardless of intervening results. He noted that both players showed clear intent by making themselves available for the Australia tour. According to Gavaskar, given their experience and calibre, they "can be written straight into the squad" if fit and willing. The comments underscore his view that age shouldn’t undermine selection when form and availability align, reinforcing the enduring value of the two stalwarts to India’s batting lineup. (PC: AFP)
