Gill took over the Test captaincy back in June ahead of India's tour to England. Gill, who was nowhere in the thoughts for being handed the red-ball captaincy, was suddenly brought on board by coach Gautam Gambhir following Rohit Sharma's sudden retirement from the format.
After Rohit Sharma was picked in the ODI squad for the upcoming tour to Australia, one would have thought that such a quick change in captaincy would not be made by the Indian management. However, the management made their intentions very clear with the appointment of Shubman Gill as the ODI captain.
Shubman Gill said, “Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are both among the best white-ball cricketers in the world. The kind of experience and skill sets that they bring to the team is massive.”
"It's a big honour to be able to lead such legends of the game and learn from them” - Shubman Gill
In 2013, in a long ODI series against Australia, Rohit scored his maiden double-hundred in the ODI format, and then played the iconic knock of 264 against Sri Lanka the next year in 2014. The two were undoubtedly two of the most inspirational cricketers for India during that phase.

The message has been very clear from the Indian management to their most veteran cricketers, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. The team selections for the World Cup will be done only based on the batters' form across tournaments.
