Team India has to play an ODI series against Sri Lanka in December 2026. If Rohit Sharma retires before this, then who will take charge of the ODI series? This is the big question. If Rohit retires, then there can be a competition between many players to take over this responsibility. But there is a high possibility that BCCI can give captaincy to Shubman Gill in ODIs. At present, he is Rohit’s deputy, which somehow reflects the far-sighted thinking of BCCI that he can take charge of India in the coming times.
Mayank and Varun can debut
Talking about other players apart from Shubman Gill, Mayank Yadav can be given a chance to debut in Team India. Apart from him, Varun Chakraborty can be selected. It is known that Varun has returned to Team India this year. He has been playing well since his return. He has taken 19 wickets in 7 matches. Mayank Yadav has also surprised everyone with his speed. In such a situation, he can also be selected in the ODI team. It is known that till now both of these players have not played in ODIs for Team India, so they can make their debut
Mayank and Varun can be included in place of these players
However, it is too early to say anything right now. But Mohammed Shami may retire from ODI cricket. In such a situation, Team India will need his replacement. Therefore, Mayank Yadav can replace him. Varun Chakraborty may get a chance in place of Kuldeep Yadav as a spinner.
Probable Team India for the T20 series against Sri Lanka
Sanju Samson, Shubman Gill (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Verma, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Varun Chakraborty, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj, Jaspreet Bumrah and Mayank Yadav.
