451 runs in last 8 ODIs: Rohit Sharma cashes in at Guwahati to allay doubts over 2027 World Cup spot
With yet another ODI century, Rohit Sharma once again buries any doubts that fans had over his participation in the 2027 World Cup.
Rohit Sharma has scored 451 runs in his last eight ODIs, including two centuries in his most recent three innings. This impressive run of form came at a time when doubts were growing about his future in India's 2027 World Cup plans. In Guwahati, Rohit smashed an unbeaten 101 off 74 balls, partnering Shubman Gill for a record 255-run opening stand.
This performance, coupled with his explosive 101 against England in Birmingham, has effectively quelled speculation about his position in the squad for the upcoming World Cup. The 2027 World Cup is just a year away, and Rohit's recent centuries, especially the one in Guwahati, have made his inclusion in the squad much more difficult to ignore.
