Why Was Rohit Replaced as ODI Captain?
The men’s selection committee made a bold move by replacing Rohit Sharma as India’s ODI captain despite his stellar record in ICC events and bilateral series. India played attacking cricket under Rohit and won the 2025 Champions Trophy unbeaten. The team also reached the 2023 World Cup final.
However, Gill dismissed such rumours, adding that Rohit and Virat Kohli would remain integral to India’s plans. The team would mix youthful leadership with veteran experience toward the next World Cup cycle.
