Arriving at the press conference after Team India's triumphant 2-0 series sweep against the West Indies in the Test assignment, the first question head coach Gautam Gambhir faced concerned the ODI future of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

Although the conference was primarily scheduled to reflect on Team India's performance in the two-match Test series, Gambhir had to clarify his stance on whether Rohit and Kohli are in the team's plans for the 2027 ODI World Cup.

The head coach, who has developed a reputation for being an outspoken personality, spoke his mind on the topic.

Gambhir reiterated the stance taken by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) selection committee chief, Ajit Agarkar. Echoing Agarkar's remarks, Gambhir stated that the 2027 World Cup is still two years away, making it important to focus on the task at hand: the upcoming Australia assignment.

“ODI World Cup is two and a half years away. It is important to stay in the present. They are both quality players. Hopefully, those 2 will have a successful tour,” Gambhir said in the press conference.
