End of Rohit Sharma’s ODI Captaincy Era

The great captain who led Team India to the ODI World Cup final in 2023, won the T20 World Cup for India in 2024, and lifted the ICC Champions Trophy in 2025, is no longer the captain of Team India. His name is Rohit Sharma. The era of the Hitman’s captaincy has come to an end.

In fact, today the BCCI announced Team India’s ODI and T20 squads for the Australia tour. The most shocking decision was to strip Rohit Sharma of the ODI captaincy. Shubman Gill has now been appointed as the new ODI captain in his place.

It is worth noting that Rohit Sharma has already retired from Tests and T20 Internationals, but he still wants to continue playing ODI cricket for the 2027 World Cup mission. However, he will never play again as the captain wearing Team India’s jersey. Just like him, Virat Kohli will also be seen playing a similar role.
