Difficulties increased for Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma is facing one problem after another. It has not even been a year since India won the T20 World Cup under his captaincy. But even before that, one problem after another has started looming over Rohit. The 37-year-old batsman is failing in Test cricket. He could not win a single match for India in Australia.

Rohit Sharma may also be out of the ODI team!
Now it has come to light that Rohit Sharma can also be dropped from the ODI team. Because now it has come to light that India has got a new captain for the Champions Trophy. Rohit will not be the captain of the Indian team for this tournament. Hindustan Times has made this claim in one of its reports. According to the information received from the source in Hindustan’s report, Hardik Pandya can take over the command of the Indian team.
Who will be India’s new ODI captain?
A senior BCCI official has claimed that Hardik Pandya will replace Rohit Sharma as the captain of India for ODI cricket. He said on the condition of anonymity,
‘Gill needs more preparation to mature as a captain. Hardik’s ODI performance is very ordinary, when his place in the team is not confirmed then the question of captaincy does not arise. In such a situation, if Rohit is unavailable, then Hardik will be the most balanced option to lead India in ODIs.’
Hardik captained in three matches
It is worth noting that Hardik Pandya has captained Team India in three ODI matches so far, out of which he has led India to victory in two. The team had to face defeat in one match under Hardik’s captaincy. His winning percentage has been 66.
