Shubman gill forcefully appointed odi captain: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has taken a big step before Team India’s Australia tour. The BCCI snatched the captaincy from Rohit Sharma and made Shubman Gill the new captain of the ODI team. Rohit Sharma is part of the 3 -match ODI series against Australia. Virat Kohli is also going on a tour of Australia with Rohit, but now these players will be seen playing under the captaincy of Shubman Gill in this series. Many veteran players are angry with this decision of BCCI.

Capital imposed on Shubman Gill

The veteran player of the Indian cricket team Mohammad Kaif has completely surrounded the BCCI. Kaif believes that Shubman Gill has been forced to captain the ODI team. Pressure has been made on Gill to take ODI captaincy. Kaif says that giving this big responsibility to Shubman Gill at such a young age can lead to negative impact on his performance.

Why did BCCI decide Gill’s captaincy?

Team India Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar had also given the reason behind this decision after handing over the captaincy of ODI to Shubman Gill. Agarkar had said that whether Rohit will play 2027 ODI World Cup or not, there is no confirmed about this. At the same time, Team India has to play less in the ODI match in the next two years, then the team will not get much matches before the World Cup. For this reason, Shubman Gill has been made the captain, so that he can be fully prepared to take decisions.

The Indian team reached the final of the 2023 World Cup under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. At the same time, Team India finally lost to Australia, who reached the final without any defeat in the entire tournament. After this, India won the 2024 T20 World Cup under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma and after that also captured the Champions Trophy 2025. But now before the next World Cup, Shubman Gill has been made the captain of the ODI team in place of Rohit Sharma.
