- BCCI will try to prepare a new team for the World Cup to be held in 2027. Veterans like Rohit and Virat will not be present in this team. In such a situation, such a team can be prepared by handing over the captaincy to Shubman Gill.
Shubman Gill: After the Champions Trophy, Team India will not play any ODI format tournament for 2 years. But the ODI World Cup 2027 will be played after 2 years. For this event, it is being speculated that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will not be on the team. In such a situation, BCCI will prepare a new team, whose command may be on the shoulders of young emerging batsman Shubman Gill. The responsibility of vice-captaincy may be on the shoulders of the player playing for MI in the PL. What is the matter, let’s understand in detail
Shubman Gill will lead India in the ODI World Cup!
Actually, in terms of age, it seems difficult for Rohit Sharma to play in ODIs after the Champions Trophy. Because he is 37 years old right now and after two years he will be 39 years old. Then it will be difficult for him to stay fit. Not only this, Virat Kohli has also turned 36. In a year or two, he will also be 28 years old.
Given their current form, they can’t play ODIs, so there is every possibility that Kohli and Rohit may announce their retirement after the recent ICC event. In such a situation, the captaincy of the ODI World Cup 2025 can be given to a new player. There is every possibility that this responsibility can be given to Shubman Gill.
Hardik Pandya may get the captaincy
Let us tell you that Shubman Gill is currently making a splash in ODI cricket. He scored a century against Bangladesh. Earlier, he scored 87 (96), 60 (52), and 112 (102) runs in 3 matches against England. Not only this, he has shown good performance many times in ODI cricket, after which there is every possibility of him getting the captaincy of Team India in the future. Hardik Pandya can get the role of captaincy. His leadership quality is very good. In such a situation, BCCI can give leadership roles to both of them in the ODI World Cup.
Hardik Pandya captained in three ODIs
It is worth noting that Shubman Gill has not captained India in ODIs yet. But Hardik Pandya has captained in ODIs, in which he has captained in 3 matches. During this time he has won 2 and lost one.
This could be India’s team in ODI Cup 2027
Shubman Gill (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya (vice-captain), Nitish Reddy, Washington Sundar Axar Patel, Varun Chakraborty, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Harshit Rana.
