BCCI Appoints Shubman Gill as India's New ODI Captain, Replacing Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma, 38, steps down after a stellar tenure as full-time ODI captain since December 2021, during which he led India in 56 matches, winning 42 (win percentage of 75%). His highlights include captaining India to the 2023 ODI World Cup final and the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy title. Rohit, along with Virat Kohli (who turns 37 next month), has been retained as a senior batter in the 15-member squad, marking their return to international cricket after a seven-month hiatus since the Champions Trophy in March 2025.
