Shubman Gill said that he is filled with pride and honour to be chosen as the captain of the Indian ODI team and will look forward to achieving great things with an exceptionally talented team.
On both occasions, Rohit Sharma had also retired from the formats. In 2025, Rohit Sharma guided India to the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and won the Player of the Match award in the final. That happened to be his last game as the captain of the Indian team in international cricket.
Although Rohit has not retired from ODI cricket, the captaincy snub means that he no longer enjoys the privilege of being an automatic selection, and his performance will decide his fate in the team.

"Difficult to put it in words, this state is very special for me — from captaining my IPL team, to being named Test captain, and leading my first Test at home — all of it happened here. This venue has always been very special for me,” Shubman Gill said.
