India tour of australia odi series: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced Team India for the tour of Australia. Shubman Gill, the new captain of India’s ODI team, has been made. Even after India’s victory in the Champions Trophy 2025, the ODI captaincy has been taken away from Rohit Sharma. Hitman is not the captain for the ODI series against Australia, but Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli remain in the ODI team.

Will Virat-Rohit take retirement?

Team India Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar had said about the 2027 World Cup in the press conference after the announcement of Team India. Agarkar says that ‘Shubman Gill has been given the captaincy in view of the 2027 World Cup in place of Rohit Sharma’. The BCCI is also looking at the young players of Team India.

India’s star player Rohit Sharma is now 38 years old. Rohit’s age will reach 40 by 2027 World Cup. In such a situation, in front of Team India is also less ODI matches in the next two years and Rohit is playing only in ODI format. Then according to the interview given to Sunil Gavaskar’s sports, Rohit will have to keep himself fit to play in the World Cup. Apart from ODIs, domestic cricket will also have to play, so that they can include themselves in the team for the World Cup.

Farewell on Australia tour?

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have not said anything about retirement from ODIs nor said that they will continue to play cricket till 2027 World Cup. At the same time, on this Australia tour of Virat and Rohit, speculations are being made that they may be seen on the field of Australia for the last time. Cricket Australia CEO Todd Greenberg has said that ‘it may happen that we will see Virat and Rohit playing in our country for the last time. We want them to be given a farewell that shows the contribution in his international cricket ‘.

Last Saturday BCCI declared the Indian Squad for Australia for the Australian Tour. The most shocking decision in this was that Rohit Sharma has been removed and handed over to the ODI team’s captaincy Shubman Gill. Rohit Sharma was India’s most successful captain in winning percentage terms, within last year, Team India has been given 2 ICC Trophy. Due to these reasons, the decision to remove Rohit from captaincy was really shocking.

In the IPL, it was very difficult for Mumbai Indians to repeat the same record in international cricket for Rohit Sharma, who won 5 trophy under his captaincy. But Rohit’s figures prove how much success Team India has got to his under. Rohit captained the team in 56 ODIs, in which the team won 42 matches. The victory percentage under Rohit’s captaincy was 75. Rohit’s win percentage was the best among the players who captain the Indian ODI team in more than 10 matches. In such a situation, the question arises whether it was right to remove Rohit Sharma from the captaincy?

It is right to remove Rohit Sharma from captaincy?

Rohit Sharma is still 38 years old, by the time 2027 ODI World Cup comes, Rohit will have been 40 years old. Many fans will want Rohit to play more cricket now, but the problem is that till 2027 World Cup, Rohit will not be able to play more cricket in the year apart from IPL. There are not enough matches, game awareness and fitness to maintain.

It has been decided that Indian cricket has entered the era of Shubman Gill. Gill has proved his leadership skills by drawing Test series 2-2 with England. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar has also made his mindset clear about the future of Team India that it is not good for the team to be different captains in 3 different formats. This can also be called the right time to hand over the captaincy to Shubman Gill because he can take over the team for at least the next decade. Perhaps they are being prepared for this.

The Indian cricket team is to be announced today for the tour of Australia. For this, a meeting of Ajit Agarkar -led selection committee is going to be held. There are reports before the meeting that captain Rohit Sharma has not been called for this meeting. Captains are usually present in the meeting of the selection committee, but Rohit has not been called this time. In such a situation, speculations are being made that perhaps Rohit Sharma should not be given the command of the team this time.

Preparation of 2027 World Cup

The Indian team will play three ODIs and five T20 matches on Australia tour. This tour is also being seen as preparations for the World Cup to be held in 2027. Rohit Sharma has already retired before Test and T20 and he is currently playing only ODI cricket. In such a situation, in view of the upcoming ODI World Cup, the selector is planning about Rohit Sharma as well as the team’s future. Rohit’s age is not in his favor. In such a situation, selector can hand over the team’s command to a new face and prepare for the World Cup.

Virat Kohli also discussed with Rohit

Like Rohit, Virat Kohli has also said goodbye to red ball cricket and T20. Now after a long time, he can be seen playing on Australia tour. Both were last seen in the Blue Jersey in the Champions Trophy. The Indian team performed brilliantly and won the Champions Trophy. In such a situation, speculations are being made that Rohit and Virat can be included in the team again, but the selectors can also be shocked in the last time. Meanwhile, there are also reports that Kuldeep Yadav can be rested on the tour of Australia and Sanju Samson may be a part of the ODI team.

Shubman Gill is also ready to replace Rohit Sharma in ODIs after Test as captain Test. This claim has been made by former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif. He was greatly impressed by Gill’s captaincy on England tour. Kaif said that he looked very calm in the 5th Test after an argument with opponents at Lord’s, even when there was a partnership between Brook and Root, he did not appear in anger.

Prior to the tour of England, Rohit Sharma retired from Test cricket, after which the BCCI announced the name of Shubman Gill as the new Test captain. As captain, he made many records in the first Test series. Kaif said on his YouTube channel, “Many questions arose on Gill’s captaincy, according to me, he redeemed this big opportunity. In the first series, his name was associated with Don Bradman, after 3 Tests that he could break Bradman’s record.”

Gautam Gambhir’s last Test series could have been the head coach

Mohammad Kaif made another big claim in this video. According to him, if there was no good performance in this series, then Gautam Gambhir’s last Test series could also be the last Test series. He said, “The biggest pressure was on Gambhir on this tour. Gambhir could not do such a good job as the head coach. After losing at home to New Zealand, lost in Australia, he was also behind 2–1. If India had lost the last Test, the most criticism would have been the most criticism, and I think if India had lost the 5th Test, then this was the last Test of Gambhir as the head coach.

Shubman Gill made many records on England tour

In the first tour, Shubman Gill showed what Sourav Ganguly, MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma could not do in his Test career. He scored 754 runs in 10 innings of 5 matches, he became the first Indian and the second captain of the world to score the most runs in a series. There is only Bradman (810) ahead of them. He broke Sunil Gavaskar’s record, he scored 732 runs in a series against West Indies in 1978.

Shubman Gill scored a record innings of 269 runs in this series, after which he made history by scoring 161 runs in the second innings of this match. He scored 430 runs in both innings. He became India’s first and second batsman in the world to score the most runs in a Test.

Rohit sharma test captain: The Indian cricket team has to go to England tour a few weeks after the end of IPL 2025. Five Test matches are to be played between the two teams.
