Former Indian Cricter Atul Wassan claimed daring about the participation of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the World Cup of Hate from 2027 to South -Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. Wassan stated that it would be an “extremely hard” challenge for both Kohli and Sharma to be selected for the tournament.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli recently decided to withdraw from the test cricket after a disappointing performance at the 2024-25 border-Gavaskar trophy. They had already taken off T20is after the triumph of the ICC T20 World Cup of 2024. The duo will play only hate matches for Team India.
Be very hard for virated Kohli and Rohit Sharma – Atul Wassan
Atul Wassan said that hatred is played less compared to tests and T20IS. He said that maintenance of fitness levels will be difficult for Rohit Sharma and Kohli.
Your daily dose of cricket!
“I think it will be extremely difficult for turning and Rohit to maintain their fitness levels only by playing IPL, which occurs only two months a year,” Wassan said on the baant and the Banter program in the Ottplay application.
“And they usually do not usually play against small teams like Bangladesh and Zimbabwe, as it is less motivating for them. They want a bigger challenge in front of them,” he added.
After taking India to victory at 2025 Champions Trophy, Rohit Sharma shared his thoughts in an interview with Star Sports. When asked about his plans for the World Cup in 2027, the veteran workshop said he was too early to comment.
The charm of the hate cricket only comes to the World Cups: Atul Wassan
Atul Wassan said that audiences have become accustomed to the fastest rhythm of the T20 cricket. He further stated that the popularity of the cricket hate is diminishing, adding that its charm now only comes during the World Cups.
“The charm only comes with the World Cups, and now it is very difficult to see the cricket hatred. It would prefer to see dry paint, as even as a commentator, it is difficult to narrate things to viewers,” he said.
“I recently went to Sri Lanka for comments for emerging players hate. I was counting in between, because we are now used to the T20 format. However, it is interesting to comment on test matches, as there is a lot of discussion about players’ techniques, throws and bowls.”
Uncertainty about Rohit Sharma’s participation and Kohli in the World Hate Cup 2027
India will play at least 27 hate games by December 2026. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will face a harsh challenge ahead of their age and limited parties. After the IPL 2025 season, the two players will return to the national team only in October for a series of three games against Australia.
It remains to see how they will maintain their shape and physical shape during the long break. They may have to participate in the domestic cricket to stay ready, given the small number of hate games.
Kohli won the World Cup of Hate 2011, the Champions League Trophy in 2013 and 2025, and the title of the T20 World Cup in 2024. Rohit continues to pursue his first World Hate Cup title, after losing the 2023 final in Australia. Kohli and Rohit scored 765 and 597 runs, respectively, during the World Home Cup.
