Team India’s ODI captain Rohit Sharma and batting giant Virat Kohli have lately been in the news over the growing uncertainty around their futures. While several reports have suggested that the selectors have made up their minds to omit them from the 2027 ODI World Cup scheme of things, others have defied, claiming that the players are very much part of the One-Day cricket setup, as no talks of pushing them for early retirement have taken place. Suresh Raina, a former World Cup winner and their ex-teammate, has backed the pair in these testing times, suggesting that the dressing room needs them more than they need it.&nbsp;After years of failure in helping their team lift an ICC trophy, Rohit and Virat helped India taste success in consecutive years. They first guided India to their second T20 World Cup win in the Americas last year and then helped them become the most successful Champions Trophy team with a triumph earlier this year. Considering both are fit and raring to go in the only format they now play at the top level, Rohit and Kohli will be back in the ODI squad for the away Australian tour in October.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/asia-cup-2025-squad-selection-scheduled-for-next-week-tuesday-mumbai-sky-likely-to-remain-t20i-captain-report-1755231375196">Asia Cup squad selection scheduled for next week; SKY likely to remain T20I captain - Report</a> &nbsp;However, what worries everyone, including the board, the selectors, the concerned players and their fans, is how fit and in form they will be in time for the next ODI World Cup, which is more than two years away.

Indian dressing room needs Rohit, Kohli: Raina backs stalwarts amid uncertain future

There was always more to just Rohit Sharma’s random Test retirement announcement sometime during IPL 2025. While it was always on the cards, considering how everything shaped up in the lead-up to that, Rohit’s former teammate and now a broadcaster, Irfan Pathan, has dropped a bombshell in the latest revelation. Barring Rohit’s poor form with the bat leading up to India’s away tour of Australia last winter, his decision to sit out of the final Test at the SCG and his infamous interview with Star Sports during the Sydney Test were where it all started.<h3>What happened in that interview? &nbsp;</h3>Star Sports presenter Jatin Sapru was hosting a mid-inning show from the ground, with Pathan joining him as the expert. Rohit joined them soon after for a quick interview, detailing why he sat out of the final Test. While many assumed that the selectors had dropped him for his horrible form on that tour, Rohit cleared the air, admitting that he decided to sit himself out (for the same reason), mentioning he wanted to prioritise the team benefit first.&nbsp; &nbsp;Although that did help him garner some social media attention, the Indian Team failed to take any advantage of the playing XI as they lost the match inside three days and surrendered the BGT for the first time in a decade.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/sanju-samson-ipl-trade-deal-desperate-rajasthan-royals-approach-other-teams-after-csk-reject-first-offer-1755158026437">Sanju Samson IPL Trade Deal: Desperate Rajasthan Royals approach other teams after CSK reject first offer</a> &nbsp;Struggling with form in red-ball cricket, Rohit’s numbers were sending worrying signs to him and the team heading into the Australian tour.

India's ODI captain Rohit Sharma has added a new luxury car to his family. A red Lamborghini Urus was handed over in Mumbai recently after Rohit gave away his old car - another Lamborghini Urus - to a winner of a contest. Rohit's new car carries the number 3015, which is a number that fans didn't take much time to decipher. The digits '3015' represent the birthdays of the two children of the hitman, and together sum up to 45 - his own jersey number.&nbsp;The number 30 seems to have been reserved for Rohit's daughter Samaira, who was born on December 30, and the number 15 was reserved for his son Ahaan, who was born on November 15. Rohit's previous car was numbered 264, i.e., his highest score in ODI cricket.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="http://wionews.com/sports/india-s-suraj-narredu-makes-history-with-shergar-cup-2025-win-at-ascot-1754904922550">India’s Suraj Narredu makes history with Shergar Cup 2025 Win at Ascot</a>&nbsp;And as for the vehicle, the newly launched Urus SE, is said to be priced approximately INR 4.57 crore (ex-showroom).

Rohit was last seen playing in a competitive cricket match for the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League in March 2025.

India’s upcoming tour to Australia in October could be a defining one for the futures of veteran stars Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, as reports have surfaced regarding their potential retirement from international cricket. Already retired from T20Is and Test cricket, reports have suggested that Virat and Rohit's tour Down Under in Australia will be their last with the Indian team on Sunday (August 10). However, those reports have now been put on hold after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has hinted that the apex body is currently undecided on the duo’s future.<h2>BCCI still not decided on Virat, Rohit</h2>“Obviously, if they (Rohit and Kohli) have something in mind, they would tell the BCCI brass like they did before the England Test tour. But from an Indian team's perspective, the next big assignment is the T20 World Cup in February and preparations before that. The immediate focus will be on sending the best team for the Asia Cup T20 tournament, hoping all players are fit and available,” a BCCI source privy to the developments told PTI on condition of anonymity.&nbsp;On Sunday, it emerged that neither Rohit nor Virat will be in the plans for the 2027 ODI World Cup set-up, as preparations are already underway to build a team.

In a shocking development coming out of Indian Cricket, the star duo of ODI captain Rohit Sharma and batting great Virat Kohli have lost their rights to be an automatic choice in the 50-over format, especially for the 2027 ODI World Cup. The batting pair of Kohli and Rohit, who have retired from two formats (Tests and T20Is), only remains available for selection in the One-Dayers. Despite their credentials, history, and even considering their role in helping Indian cricket taste success at the top level, both will have to tick a few parameters to stay in contention for a spot in India’s WC squad.&nbsp;A Dainik Jagran report states that Virat and Rohit do not fit in BCCI’s plan for the next ODI World Cup, beginning more than two years later.

T20I cricket is all about high scores, explosive shots, nail-biting thrillers and cutthroat competitions. In this format, the tide changes in just a few balls, and a quick hundred affects the course of the game in no time. Over the years, some batters have played jaw-dropping knocks in 20-over cricket. Let’s take a look at some of the fastest hundreds ever scored in men’s T20 internationals.&nbsp;(Disclaimer: This list excludes knocks from Zimbabwe and other ICC associate nations.)<h2>1. Rohit Sharma and David Miller - 35 balls.</h2>The record for the fastest T20I hundred belongs jointly to Rohit Sharma and David Miller. Rohit’s 35-ball ton came against Sri Lanka in Indore in December 2017, finishing with 118 off 43 balls. Miller achieved the feat just two months earlier, hammering an unbeaten 101 off 36 balls against Bangladesh in Potchefstroom.<h2>2. Tim David and Abhishek Sharma - 37 balls</h2>Two of the modern-day hitters share the second spot with Tim David, who recently joined the elusive list. On February 2, 2025, Abhishek Sharma lit up the Wankhede with a 37-ball hundred against England, smashing 13 sixes and 7 fours.&nbsp;&nbsp;On July 26, 2025, at Warner Park, Tim David scored a blistering century (an unbeaten 102 off 37 deliveries) under pressure.
