He made a humorous remark about keeping India’s current Test and ODI captain, Shubman Gill, and T20I captain, Shreyas Iyer, happy to play in the ICC ODI World Cup 2027 and make a T20I comeback for the 2028 T20 World Cup. Rohit’s funny response has sparked fresh discussion online, as he already retired from T20I cricket after leading India to the 2024 T20 World Cup title in Barbados.
During his Sony TV show ‘Family Full House with Rohit Sharma,’ actor Karan Wahi said, “Let's play a game with you,” and asked the former Indian captain, "Whom would he call in an emergency, Shreyas Iyer or Shubman Gill?" Rohit came up with a hilarious answer that made the people present there burst into loud laughter.
The former Indian captain jokingly said, “Both are Captain of India now. Gill is my captain right now, and I want to play the 2027 World Cup, so I have to keep him happy. After 2027 WC, if I want to make a comeback in T20I. I'll have to keep Shreyas happy. So, I need both of them.”
