Not Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill To Lead Team India In ODIs Too: Reports

Shubman Gill is likely to lead Team India in ODI too. If reports doing round the internet are to be believed, then Rohit Sharma may rest for the upcoming One Day series vs Australia, and India's test captain Shubman Gill may take over his duties.

A few months ago, Rohit Sharma had bid adieu to Test cricket after a noticeable decline in his performance in the long format.

However, his bat continued to fire in ODI format, and his performance powered Team India to register numerous victories. Even during his struggling days, Rohit Sharma played a big role as a leader and consistently excelled in clinching trophies.

BCCI's future plans for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli

Rohit and Virat Kohli planned to return for an ODI series against Bangladesh in September. However, the BCCI and BCB mutually decided to postpone it until next year. The duo is now expected to play in November when India tours Australia for a white-ball series.

With the World Cup 2027 on the horizon, both Rohit and Kohli aim to continue playing ODIs. However, their inclusion in the World Cup squad is not guaranteed. Their task will be to maintain form and fitness with limited ODIs before the event.

Rohit's impressive record as an ODI captain led many to believe he would retain his position. However, the potential change in leadership has stirred discussions about its impact on the team's future performance.
