Beyond tha Stumps

Top - 4 For 2027 ODI WC Locked -

1. Gill
2. Ishan
3. King Kohli
4. Iyer

Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli is lucky that Shubman Gill isn't getting to play as many ODIs in this era.

If ODI cricket were played as frequently as it was before Gill might have had a real chance of challenging some of their records.

Rohit is missing - KL will open the innings

Virat is missing - KL Rahul will Bat at 3

Shreyas is missing - KL Rahul will Bat at 4

Need leftie in Top 5 - KL Rahul will Bat at 6

Captain is missing - KL Rahul will Captain

Choker is missing - KL Rahul will Choke

Prime KL Rahul was something else Man. 🥶

Suddenly, I'm realizing that Test cricket is losing its aura day by day. 💔

With the retirements of Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson, Ashwin anna, and others who made us sit through all five days, waiting for every wicket and every session, it just doesn't feel the same anymore.

Two of my Fab Four have already retired. I still remember calling him "Kane Mama. I know they can't play forever. Age catches everyone. But Test cricket loses a part of its aura every time legends like them walk away.

Thank you, Kane. ❤️🫡

🚨🚨RIFT BETWEEN GAUTAM GAMBHIR & VIRAT KOHLI, ROHIT SHARMA

- Gambhir seems in no mood to take both in the 2027 WC
- There seems to be grouping in the camp regarding selections
- The performance of Indian team hasn't been good for the last 10 months
- Gambhir wants fresh blood in the team going forward
- This all mess started on that Australia tour last year
- Virat Kohli has silenced everyone through his performances
- Rohit Sharma needs some runs & needs to be fit to make his case strong

🚨EVERYTHING IS NOT GOOD IN TEAM INDIA'S ODI DRESSING ROOM 🚨 (TOI)

- The team management and some of the senior players need to be brought on the same page. It has also been learnt that a few senior players have been in constant touch with the power forces in BCCI to get clarity about the plans going into 2027 world cup.
- With such big players in the team, Shubman Gill needs to have a stronger sat in the dressing room. Coach Gautam Gambhir hasn't got involved in the planning as intently as he has done in the other two formats. So far, he has let things take its course.
- Now that the focus has shifted on the preparation for the ICC cricket World Cup 2027, one may expect coach Gambhir & Captain Shubman Gill to take charge & firmly communicates their ideas in the dressing room.

🚨 ASHWIN ON ROHIT SHARMA FOR 2027 WORLD CUP 🚨

Ashwin Said 🗣️ : -

"He doesn't have a 50 over World Cup in his kitbag yet, I think he wants to go there to the 2027 World Cup and showcase that, and win yet another silverware for himself and for the nation. I think he has also done enough to warrant a place, going all the way till that end." (ESPNcricinfo)
