Former South Africa cricketer Daryl Cullinan has warned Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma that they cannot afford to lose form ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup. Their participation in the tournament remains uncertain. Both players have retired from Test cricket and T20Is. Cullinan said they need regular match practice to stay ready. He praised Gautam Gambhir’s approach of keeping players active. “You have to be in the middle because it also keeps that game familiarity alive,” Cullinan said. He also suggested Kohli should play domestic cricket and T20s if required. Kohli and Rohit last played in India’s ODI series against England. (PC: Getty Images)
