Shubman Gill ‘wants to imbibe Rohit bhai’s calmness’ as ODI captain
Shubman Gill takes over as India ODI captain aiming to adopt Rohit Sharma's calm leadership while veteran players focus on the 2027 World Cup cycle, BCCI said.
- On Thursday, India's newly-appointed One-Day International captain Shubman Gill will begin his ODI leadership with a three-match Australia series from October 19 to 25.
- Because both seniors stepped away from T20s and Tests, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli now play only ODIs, while selectors prepare a generational shift as Gill had already succeeded Rohit in Tests.
- Gill said `The calmness of Rohit bhai and the friendships that he created among the group, I want to imbibe that` and noted `It was announced after the first Test against West Indies `.
- Both veterans have been retained for the Australia ODIs, with Rohit Sharma replaced as captain, and they will join the squad before departure on October 15 ahead of the Perth match on October 19.
- Looking toward long-term planning, selectors and team management balance experience and renewal as Kohli and Rohit focus solely on ODIs for the 2027 ODI World Cup, while Ravichandran Ashwin urges clearer communication.
