The big question on every cricket fan’s mind is: Will Rohit Sharma play in the ODI World Cup 2027? While there’s no definitive answer yet, fans are certainly vocal about wanting him to continue leading India until then.
After India’s crushing defeat in the 2023 ODI World Cup, where they came painfully close to lifting the trophy, Rohit Sharma’s regret was evident. The heartbreak of missing out on a World Cup win after 13 years has been difficult for both the team and fans. Yet, India’s T20 World Cup victory has restored some optimism, and many now hope to see Rohit take India to the pinnacle of ODI cricket in 2027.
Fans Demand Rohit Sharma to Captain in 2027
Rohit recently made an appearance at an event in Rashin, Maharashtra, where he was met with a warm reception. During the event, when the host asked who should lead India in the next World Cup, the crowd loudly chanted Rohit Sharma’s name, clearly showing their support for him to remain captain.
In a viral clip from the event, the host conveyed the crowd’s wishes, saying, “I will surely come, and on behalf of the entire country, I request Rohit that we need one more WC and whom do we want to see lead India in that WC? (asks the public). Public says Rohit Rohit. Now the public wishes to see you leading India in one more World Cup. That’s all I would like to request. Thanks.”

Rohit Sharma’s Chances of Playing in the 2027 ODI World Cup
By the time the ODI World Cup 2027 rolls around, Rohit Sharma will be 40 years old. To compete at that level, he will need to focus on his fitness and elevate his regimen. While staying in top shape is a challenge, it’s not an impossible task for the Indian captain. The fans’ hopes are high, and only time will tell if Rohit will lead India to another World Cup.
