With their Test and T20I careers well behind them, the remaining chapter for Indian cricket stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli lies squarely in the 50-over format. Both senior batters intend to keep playing ODIs with the grand destination set on the 2027 World Cup.

The journey toward next year's showpiece tournament leads through Thiruvananthapuram this weekend. India are scheduled to face the West Indies in an upcoming limited-overs fixture at the Greenfield International Stadium on Sunday.

As the legendary duo prepares for this latest assignment, their sights remain firmly fixed on maintaining form and fitness for the global event. Jointly hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia, the 2027 World Cup represents the ultimate horizon for their illustrious white-ball careers.
