Shubman Gill became the new captain after Rohit Sharma’s Test retirement. Now the weight of the captaincy of the ODI team has also come on Gill’s shoulders. Many fans and cricket experts are still not happy when Rohit is removed from the captaincy, one of which is of former Indian batsman Mohammad Kaif. Kaif targeted the Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar and other selectors and said what Rohit had done wrong. Kaif also said that the selection committee is making a hurry to make Shubman Gill a leader.

Mohammad Kaif said on his YouTube channel that he already expected Rohit to be removed from the captaincy. However, he expected this to happen after the 2027 World Cup. Kaif says that Rohit is a world-level player, has also retained his fitness and can play till 2027 World Cup.

Shubman Gill is being put on wasteful pressure …

Mohammad Kaif said, “I just say that do not put too much pressure on Gill. Batting on captaincy, number-4 in the Test. He was made the vice-captain in the Asia Cup and when Suryakumar Yadav retires, Gill will handle the front. Now he has been handed over ODI captaincy. I think all this is being done in a hurry. But suddenly everyone is seeing him as a Future Captain.

What did Rohit Sharma do wrong

Mohammad Kaif put a class of the selection committee and said, “What work did Rohit Sharma do wrong. It is unfortunate that Rohit could not get a long captaincy term, not even 4 years. He is a great batsman and best leader. His captaincy record could have been even better. When you take away the captaincy, I think I think that player’s right hand breaks.”

Rohit sharma odi retirement: Indian cricket is going through a very unique phase. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who have lifted the weight of Team India on their shoulders for the last decade and a half, have retired from T20 and Test formats. Now fans will be able to see Virat and Rohit playing only in ODI matches. Before the 2027 World Cup, the Indian team does not have to play much ODI matches, so Virat and Rohit will be seen playing in very few matches. Meanwhile, a huge revelation has been revealed about Rohit’s ODI retirement.

A BCCI source quoted Hindustan Times said that the board was hoping that Rohit Sharma would retire after the Champions Trophy. The source said, “The truth is that many people on the board thought that Rohit would say goodbye to ODI format after winning the Champions Trophy. There was no discussion with Rohit’s selectors about his future in ODI cricket.”

What did Rohit say?

Team India won the title by defeating New Zealand by 4 wickets in the final of the Champions Trophy. After that historic victory, Rohit Sharma had said about his retirement, “One more thing, I am not retiring from ODI cricket. I want to make everyone clear on retirement, so that no rumor has flew further.”

Rohit Sharma got busy in IPL 2025 after the Champions Trophy 2025. Nobody may have thought that Rohit Sharma will take retirement from Test cricket during the IPL. Rohit concluded his Test career on 7 May 2025. ‘Hitman’ has also retired from T20 in 2024. The next ODI series of the Indian team is to be against Bangladesh in August, in which both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli can be seen playing.
