Rohit Sharma's 2027 World Cup 'Hunger' Questioned After Poor NZ Series

• Former New Zealand pacer Simon Doull questioned Rohit Sharma's 'real hunger' for the 2027 ODI World Cup after his poor performance against New Zealand.
• Rohit scored only 61 runs at an average of 20.33 in the series, which India lost 1-2.
• This was the first time since his international comeback that Rohit went an entire series without a fifty, contrasting with his form against Australia and South Africa.
• Former India coach Ravi Shastri echoed Doull's sentiments, emphasizing the importance of 'hunger' and 'desire' for top players.
• Doull also highlighted Rohit's lack of match practice in ODIs until July, with his next appearance likely in the 2026 IPL season.

Why It Matters: Rohit Sharma's commitment and form for the 2027 World Cup are under scrutiny after a lean NZ series.
