Shubman Gill Replaces Rohit Sharma as India’s ODI Captain Ahead of Australia Series

By Abhishek Kumar

Biggest change in Indian cricket Shubman Gill named as a captain against Australia in the ODI series. Rohit Sharma is no more captain for India in any format.

On 4th October BCCI announced this news. Shubman Gill is the new captain in ODI and Shreyas Iyer is vice-captain. Even in T20 Suryakumar Yadav is the captain for Team India and Shubman Gill is the vice-captain Selection team member Ajit Agarkar said different captains in all three formats are not suitable for India so they made Shubman Gill captain because he already leads India in Test matches. So they made him captain to prepare the team for the 2027 World Cup.

But Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are part of the Indian cricket team as well. The team needs some experienced players so they both lead the team as senior players. But some experts like Harbhajan Singh said Rohit Sharma deserves more chances as captain.

26-year-old Shubman Gill said This is very respectful for me and he said he will follow Rohit Sharma’s path. India and Australia will start the ODI series from 19th October onwards.
