However, the BCCI is proceeding cautiously about their long-term ODI plans, with age becoming a key factor in the discussions. Rohit will be 40 and Kohli will be 39 by the time of the 2027 ODI World Cup. Their value to the team is nevertheless highlighted by their combined ODI record of 83 centuries and overs 25,000.

India's next ODI assignment is the Australia series, which is scheduled for October 19–25. Both veterans are anticipated to be key players.
