As far as Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma playing in the 2027 ODI World Cup is concerned, they themselves have not yet issued any statement on this subject. On the other hand, BCCI has also not said anything about their playing in the World Cup, but according to a report by The Week, BCCI's top officials may soon discuss with Virat and Rohit about their future in ODIs.

Meanwhile, Indian cricket team's head coach Gautam Gambhir has definitely made his intentions clear. Some time ago, Gautam Gambhir was asked in a press conference about Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli playing in the 2027 World Cup. On this, he said, "Right now India's focus is on the 2026 T20 World Cup, which is to be held in February-March next year. The 2027 ODI World Cup is still 2 years away. I have always said one thing. If you continue to perform well, then definitely play the World Cup." This statement of Gambhir shows that if Virat-Rohit are able to perform well consistently, then he will have no objection to both of them playing in the 2027 World Cup.
