JioStar unveiled a new film bringing together India legends Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in a rare and candid coming together, setting the stage for what promises to be a monumental year ahead for Team India. With the Road to the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027 gathering momentum, the duo look ahead to an action-packed year for Indian cricket, beginning with Sri Lanka’s tour of India from December 13. As India set their sights on a fourth consecutive ICC title and Rohit and Kohli look ahead to their final ICC World Cup campaign, 2027 promises to be a significant chapter in Indian cricket.
Conceptualised by JioStar, the film brings together Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in a light-hearted conversation as they reminisce about their journey with Team India. Celebrating their passion for the game, the film also offers fans a glimpse into the duo’s playful side, as they cheekily recreate the signature celebrations of KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and Captain Shubman Gill. As their conversation draws to a close, the duo turn their attention to the road ahead and the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027, setting up the film’s punchline: “Desh ka sawaal hai, maza toh aayega” (It’s a matter of the country’s pride, it’s going to be fun).
Fresh off a 2-1 series victory over the West Indies and with less than a year to the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027, India’s upcoming ODI assignments, beginning with Sri Lanka, will be key in the team’s preparations, with respect to form and combination, particularly with Kohli and Sharma headlining the playing XI. Viewers can catch all the live action from the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka from December 13-19, exclusively on JioHotstar and Star Sports Network.
