BCCI took a big decision on Saturday. India was removed from the captaincy in March this year, captain Rohit Sharma, who won the 2025 Champions Trophy. In his place, 26 -year -old young opener Shubman Gill was given the command of the ODI team. After this a big question arose. That is, Rohit Sharma himself has left the captaincy of the ODI team or has been removed? At the moment, the picture is not clear about this, but from the statement of Ajit Agarkar, Chief Selector of the Indian cricket team, it seems that Rohit has been removed from the captaincy. Team India was announced for the tour of Australia on Saturday itself. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have also been included in the ODI series team. At the same time, Shreyas Iyer has been made vice -captain for the three -match series.
Team India Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar has confirmed that Rohit Sharma has been told about the change in captaincy, but when asked if Virat and Rohit would play the World Cup 2027, they did not give a clear answer. Agarkar said, “They are just playing in this format and we have chosen them. As far as the 2027 World Cup is concerned, I do not think that there is a need to talk about it with a change in captaincy today.”
On asking how Rohit Sharma has taken this decision, he said, “This is a matter between the selection committee and Rohit.” Agarkar clearly said that now only a few ODIs are to be played. Therefore, it is impossible to keep three different captains, because it makes it difficult to make strategy. He said, it is not practically possible that there are three captains in three formats. This makes it difficult to make a strategy. “
He further said, “At one time you will consider the next World Cup and this format is now played very rarely. So there is not much match to give to the next captain. It is necessary to be given time to prepare himself and make strategies.”
