Dhoni Backs Rohit, Kohli for 2027 World Cup: "Age is Not a Criterion"

  • MS Dhoni supports Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli playing in the 2027 ICC Cricket World Cup, emphasizing that performance and fitness are key, not age.
  • Dhoni made these remarks at an event, stressing that experienced players are crucial and cannot be found in younger, less experienced individuals.
  • He highlighted that players should not be dictated to based on age and that everyone should be treated equally, with fitness being the only mandatory criterion.
  • Rohit and Virat have faced scrutiny due to fewer ODIs, making their participation in domestic cricket like the Vijay Hazare Trophy vital for form and fitness.
  • Virat Kohli has shown exceptional form since the Australian tour, scoring 616 runs in 9 ODIs, while Rohit Sharma has also performed adequately with 409 runs in 9 ODIs.
