Selectors aimed to drop Rohit from 2027 World Cup vision, report claims BCCI support caused friction
According to a recent report, members of the Indian selection committee are of the opinion that the team cannot secure the 2027 ODI World Cup title under Rohit Sharma's leadership and had intended to exclude him from future strategies. The selectors were allegedly unhappy when BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia voiced public support for Rohit during the ODI series against England, despite ongoing talk about his retirement. Notably, Rohit delivered a strong performance during that series, hitting 138 runs off 110 balls at Lord's.
