CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma is leaving no stone unturned to prolong his ODI career until the 2027 World Cup. The experienced opener has turned to former cricketer and mentor Abhishek Nayar for guidance and fitness management as he looks to maintain peak performance for the next four years.
Abhishek Nayar, known for his role in shaping several Indian cricketers, has been a key figure in Rohit Sharma’s career since his early days. Nayar’s expertise in fitness, mental conditioning, and skill enhancement has helped many players, including Dinesh Karthik and Shreyas Iyer, make significant comebacks. Now, he is expected to play a vital role in ensuring Rohit remains in top form to lead India into the 2027 World Cup.
While Rohit remains focused on ODIs, his Test career hangs in the balance. The decision regarding his red-ball future will likely be taken after the conclusion of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. With an aging squad and fresh talent knocking on the door, the BCCI selectors will closely evaluate his form, fitness, and leadership before making a final call on his place in the Test setup.
With India looking to build a strong team for the next World Cup cycle, Rohit’s experience and leadership will be invaluable. However, the transition phase of Indian cricket may see new names rising, making it crucial for Rohit to stay at his best. As he trains under Nayar’s watchful eyes, Indian cricket fans will eagerly await his next chapter in both ODI and Test formats.
