Former cricketer Aakash Chopra feels that Team India’s veteran opening batsman Rohit Sharma is irreplaceable in the 50-over format. Ahead of the ODI World Cup 2027, which will be hosted in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia, the former cricketer feels that the conditions in the “Rainbow Nation” will demand experience.
“As long as Rohit Sharma is fit, available, and scoring runs, he remains irreplaceable. We are talking about sheer pedigree and legacy here. You do not need to look anywhere else in ODI cricket right now. We should not forget that the next World Cup is in South Africa, where conditions demand experienced heads who have been there, done that, and delivered under pressure,” Chopra said on The Great Indian Cricket Show on Doordarshan.
