Rohit Sharma is currently the official ODI captain, but has already stepped down from leadership roles in T20Is and Test cricket following India’s T20 World Cup win. While he hasn’t yet announced his retirement from ODIs, there is speculation that the transition is underway.
Rohit has expressed his desire to play in the 2027 ODI World Cup, but maintaining peak fitness until then remains a challenge. With several bilateral ODI series scheduled before the next ICC tournament, Gill is likely to be handed the reins, even while Rohit remains part of the squad.
India is set to tour Australia soon for a bilateral ODI series, followed by matches against Sri Lanka. Reports indicate that Gill will lead the team during these series, sparking widespread discussion across social media platforms.
The move reflects a generational shift in Indian cricket and suggests that the selectors are looking to groom Gill as a long-term leader in the ODI format, following his strong performances and growing stature in international cricket.
