Former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri feels that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma`s hopes of featuring in ODI World Cup 2027 depend on their form, fitness, and hunger. He also said that the upcoming ODI series against Australia will be an important test of all the three aspects.

Speaking to cricket.com.au about the duo, Shastri said, "That`s why they`re here (playing the ODI series against Australia). They`re part of the mix. It depends on their fitness, their hunger and, of course, form. So, I think this series is very important to see how they go. They themselves will know by the end of this series how they feel and then it`s their call."
