- India has a golden opportunity to take revenge for the defeat in the Test. Team Indian has to play a 3-match ODI series in New Zealand under the new captain and vice-captain, the 15-member team which has already been revealed.
Team India: The year 2024 has been very disappointing for Team India. This year, for the first time in history, India had to face a clean sweep on home soil. India had to face a historic 0-3 defeat to New Zealand for the first time under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. But now Team India will have a golden opportunity to avenge this defeat.
Indian Team has to tour New Zealand, where India has to play a three-match ODI series with the Indian Blackcaps. The special thing is that Indian fans can see a new captain and vice-captain on this tour, while Rohit Sharma can retire from all formats of cricket by then. However, Virat Kohli can get a place in this squad.
This player will get the captaincy
BCCI selectors can appoint Shubman Gill as the captain of Team India for the three-match ODI series to be played on New Zealand soil in October-November 2026. Recently on January 11, captain Rohit Sharma himself had made it clear that he would be seen leading Team India for a maximum of 2 to 3 months, before which the BCCI officials can search for a new captain.
After this, there are reports that the BCCI selectors are considering Shubman Gill as the new captain. Therefore, he has been made the vice-captain of the team for the Champions Trophy 2025 so that he can learn the tricks of captaincy from Rohit Sharma. If Shubman Gill is the selectors’ first choice as captain, then he can lead Team India for a long time.
This player was made vice-captain!
Apart from Shubman Gill being made the captain, Yashasvi Jaiswal can be made the vice-captain of Team India. Both these youngsters have always proved themselves on the big stage and in the coming times, both of them can emerge as the best players of India’s future, due to which BCCI is also showing more confidence in them. If Yashasvi Jaiswal establishes himself in ODIs like Tests, then after Rohit, he is sure to play as an opening batsman for Team India, while he can also become the captain of the team in the future.
India’s probable 15-member team
Shubman Gill (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal (vice-captain), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Axar Patel, Mayank Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakraborty, Mohammed Shami and Umran Malik.
