Rohit's presence in the Women's World Cup final is understandable as he has a huge corner for the mega tournament in his heart. He led India to a place in the final of the ODI World Cup 2023, which the Men in Blue lost against Australia in Ahmedabad.

Amid the ongoing speculations, Rohit's availability for the ODI World Cup 2027 remains uncertain, and the veteran batter will likely next be in action during the home series against South Africa. Having led India to the T20 World Cup 2024 and ICC Champions Trophy 2025 title wins, Rohit was replaced by Shubman Gill as the team's new captain.

Talking about India's women's team, they were off to a remarkable start with the bat after losing the toss. Having made it to the final on the back of a memorable win over Australia in the semis, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side fielded an unchanged lineup.
