On the other hand, there's Shreyas Iyer, the stylish middle-order batter who has been a pillar of stability in ODI cricket. Iyer brings seniority, a cool head, and years of consistent performance. He knows how to anchor innings under pressure, and his leadership skills in the IPL have been impressive.
Gautam Gambhir against any captaincy role for Shreyas Iyer
The selectors are now in a tough situation, as India has three captains for each format with Gautam Gambhir’s influence looming large. A report in CricBlogger suggested the Indian head coach isn’t in favor of Iyer taking over captaincy of any format, and he was even against his selection for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Gambhir is keen on giving Gill the responsibility of the ODI team.

Well, Suryakumar Yadav is set to continue as T20I skipper until the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. If Gambhir wants a full transition across the formats, Rohit may play his last ODI series in Australia, and Gill will be India’s next ODI and Test captain as well.
But as India turned its focus to Test cricket, Gill was not picked for the home T20Is against Bangladesh in October, the away series in South Africa in November, and the high-profile T20Is against England in January. In his absence, Axar Patel was promoted to vice-captain. Now, there are reports that Gill is all set to return to a leadership role in the shorter format of the game.
