Sunil Gavaskar, a former Indian cricketer, believed that both Virat and Rohit are sure to be part of the 2027 ODI World Cup squad.
He further stated, "The Australia series has proved that Rohit and Virat are ready for the 2027 World Cup. Whatever the case may be in the next two years, their names will have to be in the team. It could be fitness or injury, but I believe their slots are already booked. Anybody who has seen their form in the present would attest to that."

Greenberg quoted, "We would wish to get the best Indian players into the BBL. Even if presently it is not possible, we will move in that direction."
