Rohit Sharma knew about ODI captaincy exit weeks before official announcement!!
Meanwhile, a fresh report claimed that Rohit was well aware of his sacking as India’s ODI captain even before the announcement made on Saturday, October 4. The Hitman was already informed about Gill replacing him before the upcoming Australia tour.
The report further suggested that the Indian selectors are reportedly concerned about Rohit’s ability to maintain peak performance in the coming years. The 38-year-old has had a long break from competitive cricket and was last seen in the IPL 2025.
Rohit is part of the ODI squad for the Australia tour, but this series is now being viewed as a critical “perform or perish” test for the seasoned opener. Many in the Indian think tank reckon that Rohit cannot “perform at his best after more than seven months of hiatus from competitive cricket.”
Abhishek Sharma confirmed as Rohit Sharma’s replacement as India opener in ODIs

The source said, “Abhishek has been amazing in the six-over powerplay in T20s. Imagine if he gets 10 and survives through that phase! He can better Rohit and give the innings a head start.”
