EX-INDIA STAR WANTS SHARMA, KOHLI TO LEAD INDIA TO 2027 ODI WORLD CUP BEFORE RETIRING
A former India star suggested that Sharma and Kohli can only retire after they lead India to the 2027 ODI World Cup.
Furthermore, Yograj Singh was optimistic of his wish after he heard Sharma say he’s not retiring yet from the ODI (One-Day International) format.
Moreover, the 66-year-old retired bowler and actor feels Sharma and Kohli still have enough oncce they play in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia for the 2027 ODI World Cup.
“The best thing is that Rohit Sharma said he is not retiring. Well done, my son. Nobody can retire Rohit and Virat,” Yograj told ANI.
“They should think about retirement after winning the 2027 ODI World Cup. I had said this before India would win,” he added.
