Dinesh told Dainik Jagran, “I am not saying that he will leave the Test format after the final of the World Test Championship. However, due to his increasing age, there is a possibility of him saying goodbye to this format. It seems that He may announce his retirement from Test cricket to remain fit for the fifty-over format. I am sure Rohit will play the 2027 ODI World Cup.

This statement of Rohit's coach is scaring the fans because perhaps the fans are not yet ready for Rohit's Test retirement and if Rohit really retires after the World Test Championship final, then it will be a big shock for the fans. Another question regarding Rohit is what is he thinking about the ICC ODI World Cup 2027 to be held in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia.

The Indian team had lost to Australia in the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup, after which there were speculations that Rohit might not play till the 2027 World Cup. The right-handed batsman will be 40 years old in the 2027 World Cup. If Rohit is selected for this mega event, he will become the oldest player of the Indian national cricket team to play an ODI match in history.
