Rohit Sharma will not play World Cup 2027, such news is going viral on social media. It is being claimed that the selectors of Team India have told this legend that they do not see him in the World Cup team, but meanwhile R Ashwin has given a shocking statement on this matter. Ashwin says that if players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have decided that they have to play the World Cup, then no one can even touch them. Let us tell you why Ashwin said this.
Ashwin’s big statement on Rohit-Virat
Ashwin On his YouTube channel Ash Ki Baat, he said, ‘Virat and Rohit cannot even be touched if they want to play World Cup 2026. That’s because both of them have scored a lot of runs. Rohit has scored 12 thousand runs, no one can even touch him. The second is that he is a batsman. If he touched them, he scored runs. They have an army. People come to see them. If you exclude them, there are people to ask and to create an environment.
‘No one asks the bowlers’
According to Ashwin, there are lakhs of people who ask about Virat-Rohit but no one asks about the bowlers. He said, ‘If Shami is not taken, Siraj is not taken, Bhuvneshwar is not taken, ten people will ask. 10 people will ask, 100 people will ask, thousand people will ask. Will ask 10 thousand. Will not make noise. This is the point. Even for the bowlers, if people make noise then it will be difficult to get them out. It is impossible to drop Virat-Rohit. This rule does not apply for bowlers.
🚨Ashwin slammed the hypocrisy surrounding the PR on social media over the news of Rohit Sharma’s retirement or dropped.
-Its because these batsmen have an ‘army’ of fans & If the selectors ever consider dropping them, those fans will bring the roof down. But if Shami, Bhuvi or pic.twitter.com/2JBSZ3G2lU

bowling is weak
R Ashwin believes that for the World Cup 2027, we are focusing on experienced batting but experience is also important in bowling. According to Ashwin, Shami, Siraj, Bhuvneshwar all have every chance to make a place in the ODI World Cup squad. At present, apart from Bumrah, the fast bowlers playing in Team India neither have experience nor their performance is good.
