Future of ODI: Gill takes captaincy reins from Rohit
Orissa POST
|October 05, 2025
Ina significant transition move, the Indian selectors Saturday removed Rohit Sharma from ODI captaincy and expectedly handed over the reins to young Shubman Gill, keeping the 2027 World Cup in mind.
Rohit is the only skipper apart from Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who led India to three ICC white ball finals, winning ODI World Cup and Champions Trophy titles. He had a runners-up finish at the T20 World Cup.
Asan ODI skipper, he won 42 out of the 56 ODIs that he captain with a winning percentage of 76. The selection panel's move also underlines Gill's transition as an all-format leader.
Rohit, though features in the 15-member squad for the upcoming Australia Tour along with other stalwart Virat Kohli as the selection panel chose not to fully sacrifice the experience.
Shreyas Iyer has been named vice-captain for the three-match series.
The ODIs are scheduled to be played in Sydney, Adelaide, and Melbourne between October 19 and 25 and will be followed by a five-match T20 series.
