'I don’t think they...,' Ex-India coach Kumble on Rohit and Kohli's 2027 ODI World Cup chances

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be back in the Indian colours for the forthcoming ODI series against Australia starting this Sunday (Oct 19) in Perth. Since announcing their respective Test and T20I retirements, both had just one format to represent India in, with a single aim - to stay in contention for the 2027 ODI World Cup. However, the question here arises: Would they stick around till then? Former India head coach Ravi Shastri dropped honest bombshells.&nbsp;Considering youngsters and newcomers are fighting for their places in the ODI side, Shastri warned Aussie fans against watching this duo play their best cricket Down Under to stay in contention for the 50-over spectacle.&nbsp; &nbsp;"That's why they're here (playing the ODI series against Australia)," Shastri said in Sydney on Monday (Oct 13).

Ravi Shastri lists three factors that determine Rohit and Kohli’s 2027 ODI WC future

India finished day 4 (Oct 13) at 63/1, needing just 58 more runs to win the second Test and seal a 2-0 series victory. Earlier, they bowled out West Indies for 390 in their second innings at the Arun Jaitley stadium in Delhi. The visitors had collapsed from 212/2 to 311/9 before a fighting 79-run stand for the 10th wicket between Justin Greaves (50*) and Jayden Seales (32) frustrated India. Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav took three wickets each, while West Indies’ innings was powered by centuries from John Campbell (115) and Shai Hope (103), who shared a 177-run partnership for the third wicket.&nbsp;West Indies began the day under pressure, trailing by 97 runs with eight wickets in hand.

Their 177-run stand for the third wicket kept India from wrapping up the game quickly. Even the last-wicket pair added 79 runs, frustrating India’s bowlers further.&nbsp;Meanwhile, the hosts maintained tight lines and stayed in control throughout. Jasprit Bumrah struck early to remove key batters, and Kuldeep Yadav’s clever spin accounted for three wickets in quick succession. Mohammed Siraj used the second new ball effectively, dismissing Hope and ending West Indies’ fightback. Despite the flat track, India stuck to their plans, ensuring the visitors never got too ahead in the game.&nbsp;Meanwhile, chasing a modest target of 121, India lost young southpaw Yashasvi Jaiswal early, but Rahul and Sai Sudharsan played brilliant and sensible cricket. Sudharsan remained unbeaten on 30, showing calmness under pressure, along with Rahul (25*). With just 58 runs needed, India is well poised to finish the job on the fifth day and seal a 2-0 series sweep.

Overconfidence or just not important? Aussie skipper Marsh looking at India series as pre-cursor to Ashes

Most-capped West Indies Test batter in this line-up, Shai Hope, scored a brilliant 103 on day four of the ongoing second Test against India in Delhi, also entering an unwanted list with that. Hope stitched a 177-run stand with opener John Campbell for the third wicket but was bowled off Mohammed Siraj shortly after. Although his dismissal triggered a batting collapse, what was worse was that it put him at the top of the list of West Indies players with the most innings between two Test centuries.

Most-capped West Indies Test batter in this line-up, Shai Hope, scored a brilliant 103 on day four of the ongoing second Test against India in Delhi, also entering an unwanted list with that. Hope stitched a 177-run stand with opener John Campbell for the third wicket but was bowled off Mohammed Siraj shortly after. Although his dismissal triggered a batting collapse, what was worse was that it put him at the top of the list of West Indies players with the most innings between two Test centuries.

IND vs WI 2nd Test: Shai Hope attains top spot on unwanted list with Delhi hundred

Ever since the introduction of DRS, the decision making has become a bit precise and effective in cricket barring a few exceptions. One such exception was seen during first session on day 4 (Oct 13) of the second ongoing India vs West Indies Test in Delhi.

Australian Test captain Pat Cummins admitted not being in the selection fray for the Ashes opener later next month. Recovering from a back injury, Cummins reveals he is less likely than likely to confirm his participation for the first Test against England in Perth. With around six weeks to go for the marquee series to get underway, Cummins could be absent from the playing XI, with the hosts working on finalising the best team without him. He, however, hasn’t completely ruled himself out.&nbsp;"I'd say probably less likely than likely," Cummins said of his chances of featuring in the Perth Test, at the Fox Cricket season launch event in Sydney on Monday (Oct 13). "But we've still got a bit of time. &nbsp;"I'm running today and running kind of every second day, and each runs a little bit longer, and then we get into bowling prep next week. So I'm probably a couple of weeks away before actually putting on the spikes and bowling out on the turf. But it's been a good couple of weeks.

Four weeks is pretty tight, but I think somewhere around that mark.”<h3>Upset yet realistic &nbsp;</h3>Having avoided an injury of this scale for all these years, Cummins admits to being frustrated about missing the Ashes opener, but has also been realistic about his recovery time and chances of featuring in perhaps the most-talked-about Test series of the year. &nbsp;"Some days I'm kind of annoyed because it's the Ashes, and it's a big summer and then other days I'm kind of realistic," Cummins said.&nbsp; &nbsp;"I've had the last seven or eight years of almost uninterrupted home summers, so I felt like I've had a really good run as a fast bowler. Someone like Josh [Hazlewood], he's been a little bit more unlucky, so maybe it's my turn. But it's such a big summer ahead.

An injury scare has cramped the Indian camp during the ongoing second Test against the West Indies. Indian batter Sai Sudharsan will remain unavailable for fielding on day three at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi due to an impact injury he suffered the previous day. The good news, however, is that his injury isn’t serious and he is doing fine.&nbsp;While fielding at the forward short-leg on day two, Sai picked up the injury while grabbing a stunner off Ravindra Jadeja’s bowling to remove John Campbell. The big West Indian opener smashed a slog sweep that first hit Sai’s helmet grille before getting lodged into his arms. The instance happened in the eighth over of WI’s first innings after the hosts declared on 518 for five. Sai also remained unavailable for fielding for the remainder of the 35 overs bowled that day.&nbsp;WATCH VIDEO -

While fielding at the forward short-leg on day two, Sai picked up the injury while grabbing a stunner off Ravindra Jadeja’s bowling to remove John Campbell. The big West Indian opener smashed a slog sweep that first hit Sai’s helmet grille before getting lodged into his arms. The instance happened in the eighth over of WI’s first innings after the hosts declared on 518 for five. Sai also remained unavailable for fielding for the remainder of the 35 overs bowled that day.

IND vs WI 2nd Test: Key Indian batter out with injury on day three in Delhi

Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir still cannot come to terms with one of the darkest chapters in the country’s Test history. Currently on a winning spree across formats, Gambhir once endured a painful home series loss as a coach to New Zealand late last year, in which the Kiwis inflicted a series whitewash on Rohit Sharma’s team – a first of its kind in Indian Test history. That series loss was the beginning of the end of India’s chances of securing a spot in its third successive WTC Final, with Australia and South Africa advancing through.&nbsp;Meanwhile, speaking on the sidelines of the ongoing second Test against the West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, Gambhir detailed his feelings about that series loss as a coach and what changed in the Indian dressing room after that episode. &nbsp;“If I am being honest, and speak from the heart, I don’t think that in my coaching tenure, I can ever forget that, and I should never forget that,” Gambhir said in a chat with JioHotstar.&nbsp;“I have told this to the boys as well. It is important to look forward, but sometimes it is also important to remember the past as well. Everyone thought we would roll over New Zealand. In that dressing room, we need to keep reminding that New Zealand happened.”&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/shubman-gill-and-yashasvi-jaiswal-break-multiple-milestones-in-second-test-vs-wi-ind-vs-wi-delhi-arun-jaitely-stadium-1760178544427">Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal break multiple milestones in second Test vs WI</a> &nbsp;The damage that the series loss did to India was unmatchable. For an outfit like that to lose a home three-match Test series when they hardly lost matches in these conditions in over a decade was a hard pill to swallow. The series loss cost Rohit Sharma his place in the Test team, also crumbling Virat Kohli’s confidence, which later led to the pair announcing their respective Test retirements around six months later. Test ace Ravichandran Ashwin also stepped aside from international cricket.&nbsp; &nbsp;Meanwhile, after failing to qualify for the WTC Final 2025, Team India made wholesome changes to their Test side by announcing a new captain in Shubman Gill and introducing newcomers to play crucial roles. While Team India drew (2-2) the five-match series under Gill’s leadership earlier, they are on the brink of blanking West Indies in the two-match Test series, with India sitting in the driver’s seat early on day three.
