Is Rohit Sharma Too Good to Drop Ahead of 2027 World Cup?

Speculation is rife that BCCI may move on from Rohit Sharma in ODIs with the 2027 World Cup in mind. However, his recent numbers, 1963 runs at an average of 47.88 and a strike rate of 116.85 since 2022, prove he is still among the best. While age and South African conditions raise concerns, changing pitches and Rohit's evolving batting style suggest he may still have plenty to offer. The question remains: should India really look beyond their white-ball stalwart?
