His remarks reflect the high value placed on seasoned players to steer a squad through demanding matches in unfamiliar conditions.<\/p>\n<h2>Why experience matters overseas<\/h2>\n<p>Away World Cups test temperament as much as talent. Different pitches, crowds and pressure situations reward players who have &#8220;been there before.&#8221; Senior batters can stabilise an innings, read conditions quickly and guide younger teammates through tight moments \u2014 intangible benefits that rarely show up in raw statistics.<\/p>\n<h2>India&#8217;s balance of youth and experience<\/h2>\n<p>Indian teams have long thrived on blending emerging talent with veterans, a mix that has produced strong results internationally. Ashwin&#8217;s comments arrive as team management plans for future tournaments, including the 2027 ODI World Cup, where that balance could again prove decisive.<\/p>\n<h2>Why it matters<\/h2>\n<p>Selection debates around senior players are really debates about how to win in the biggest moments. Whether to lean on experience or transition to youth is one of the key strategic calls facing Indian cricket heading into 2027.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<h3>What is Ashwin&#8217;s view?<\/h3>\n<p>That Kohli and Rohit&#8217;s experience would be highly valuable at the 2027 ODI World Cup, particularly overseas.<\/p>\n<h3>Why does experience matter in away tournaments?<\/h3>\n<p>Because foreign conditions and high-pressure knockouts reward composure and familiarity.<\/p>\n<p><em>Compiled by the DW24 News sports desk.<\/em><\/p>\n<!-- CONTENT END 1 -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India cricket great Ravichandran Ashwin has underlined the importance of senior players Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma being part of the 2027 ODI World Cup, arguing that their experience would be invaluable \u2014 especially in overseas conditions where know-how often makes the difference.
