Mbappe confident of Ballon d’Or chance after record World Cup

Former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina believes that having both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the Indian ODI team gives India a 90 percent chance of winning the 2027 World Cup. Rohit and Kohli have been vital players in the Indian top order for a long time, but as they age, their fitness and ability to maintain their performance become concerns for selectors.

While some doubt their future role for the team, Raina remains confident in their abilities. He emphasizes the importance of both Kohli and Rohit, stating that they are a run machine at home and a great captain who has won numerous IPL and national trophies. Sandeep Patil, a former Indian selector, also acknowledged the contributions of Kohli and Rohit over the years and expressed faith in the team's bench strength, suggesting that the selectors would have alternatives if necessary.
