It’s the dawn of a new era in Indian cricket, but one that still carries the calm of the old. When Shubman Gill walked into the press room on Thursday after his first interaction after being named India’s new ODI captain, there wasn’t the air of a youngster overwhelmed by responsibility.
Instead, there was quiet confidence, the same kind of serenity he said he wants to borrow from his predecessor, Rohit Sharma. The baton has officially passed, with BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar choosing Gill over Rohit despite the Hitman leading Team India to an ICC Champions Trophy 2025 win the last time he played for India.
“I want to imbibe Rohit bhai’s calmness”
At 26, Shubman Gill has become one of India’s youngest full-time ODI captain. The selectors’ decision to hand him the reins wasn’t a surprise as he’s already leading India in Tests and was seen as the natural successor in limited-overs cricket. But in his first address since the announcement, Gill showed that while the captaincy is new, his perspective is mature.
“The calmness of Rohit bhai and the friendships that he created among the group, I want to imbibe that,” Gill said ahead of the second Test against West Indies in New Delhi. His words showed a deep respect for Rohit Sharma, under whom he has grown as a cricketer. The young skipper admitted he wants to carry forward that dressing-room culture of trust and camaraderie, something that defined India’s success under Rohit in recent years.
Gill also moved quickly to silence the speculation about Rohit and Virat Kohli’s future in ODIs. Both senior pros have stepped away from T20Is and Tests, leading to chatter about their long-term plans. “The two have won so many games for India. Very few have so much skill and experience. We need them,” Gill said firmly, confirming their presence for the upcoming Australia tour starting October 19.
