Rinku Singh backs Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma for 2027 World Cup glory
India batter Rinku Singh is hopeful that veteran stars Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will feature in the 2027 ODI World Cup and help the team end its long wait for the coveted trophy. Rinku said the prospect of the two former India captains playing another World Cup would be a huge moment for the country, particularly if they can help India win the title. KING KOHLI IS BACK !!!!…
Indian cricketer Rinku Singh expressed his optimism that veteran players Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will return to the national team for the 2027 ODI World Cup. The 28-year-old, who has played two ODIs and 48 T20Is for India, believes that the presence of the former captains would be a significant moment for the country, especially if they help India secure the championship.
Rinku added that it would be particularly monumental if Kohli and Sharma could lift the trophy, as India had not won the World Cup since 2011. The 2026 T20 World Cup victory provided additional motivation for Singh, who hopes to be remembered for his contributions to winning major trophies rather than just his record-breaking five-sixes-in-an-over during the IPL.
Meanwhile, Kohli arrived in Thiruvananthapuram ahead of India's first ODI against the West Indies. The batter was met with enthusiastic crowds as fans gathered to see the star player. Rohit Sharma also supports Kohli for the 2027 World Cup, emphasizing that both players would bring immense value to the team.
