2 big titles within about 10 months. Team India, who returns empty -handed from every country, every tournament for 11 years, is finally compensating for those missing occasions. After winning the T20 World Cup in June last year, Team India has now also won the Champions Trophy. Also, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have also made it clear that they will not retire yet. In such a situation, every fan is now seeing the dream that both Team India should be made the champions even further and in the coming two and a half years, both veterans are going to get these opportunities.
For the last several years, Rohit and Virat, who have been witness to every heart -breaking necklace of Team India together, are now living their dreams. Both of them have won two big titles in the last 10 months. Not only won, but both of them played big roles in putting that trophy in their bag. This has added to the hunger of both the veterans and both of them are wishing to play for the next two-and-a-half years.
Talking about two and a half years to come, Team India has to play three big ICC tournaments during this period. It will start from T20 World Cup 2026 next year. However, Rohit and Virat will not be part of it because Virat and Rohit retired from this format only after becoming champions last year. But in 2027, both will have two big opportunities. The first chance in this is the World Test Championship, which will start this year and its final will be played in 2027.
Team India made it to the first and second finals of the Test Championship but had to face defeat both times. Once this defeat was received under the captaincy of Kohli and the second time under Rohit's captaincy. For the third time Team India could not qualify for this final. In such a situation, both of them will have a chance to win it in the fourth attempt. However, in view of the recent form of both in red ball cricket, it seems to be the most difficult.
But in 2027, the ODI World Cup will also be organized, which will be played in South Africa. Given the age of Rohit and Virat, questions are arising whether these two veterans will be able to stay till this tournament. However, in the Champions Trophy, both of them have responded to bat and statements. In such a situation, both of them have opportunities to win these two titles, which seem a bit difficult but cannot be denied in view of the ability and the performance of the big tournament.
Now the question is, how many matches will be given to both of them before the World Cup 2027? If Rohit and Virat play only ODI format later, then both of them can play 27 ODIs till the World Cup. These 27 matches are divided in 9 different series, which will be played in different countries besides India, out of which 3 are to be done this year. Later, when and where Team India will play ODI series, see the complete information about it here-
