According to reports, Shubman Gill is on track to be appointed as India’s new ODI captain, with the move already decided and awaiting an official confirmation. Gill’s appointment as T20I vice-captain fueled rumors that the selectors were considering him as Rohit Sharma’s successor in ODIs. Rohit Sharma’s future as captain has become a subject of discussion. The upcoming limited-overs tour of Australia might be his last as captain and potentially his final ODI appearance. The BCCI selection committee aims to give Gill the captaincy now, allowing him to settle in and build a solid team before the 2027 ODI World Cup. Rohit has signaled his intention to continue playing ODIs and compete in the next World Cup. However, the selectors will make the final decision, and stellar performances in Australia could be key to Sharma retaining his captaincy. With a limited number of ODI matches scheduled before 2027, there are doubts about the ability of veteran cricketers like Rohit and Virat Kohli, who has retired from T20Is and Tests, to maintain their form.
