In a significant development for Indian cricket, Shubman Gill has been appointed as the new ODI captain, succeeding Rohit Sharma. Gill will commence his leadership tenure during the Australian tour later this month, aiming to bring Sharma's calm and camaraderie to the team environment.

At 25, Gill already leads the Test team and seeks to dismiss rumors regarding the futures of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. As both cricketers have retired from T20 Internationals and Tests, Gill asserts their experience and skill remain crucial to India's ODI performance.

Gill's relationship with head coach Gautam Gambhir plays a key role in this transition. Together, they are focused on creating a secure environment for players and developing a robust pool of fast bowlers. Gill's dedication to his expanded captaincy role was officially recognized following the first Test against the West Indies.
