There is no clarity about Rohit Sharma’s deputy. Because in the ODI World Cup 2023, this responsibility was on the shoulders of Hardik Pandya. But after getting injured, this responsibility was removed from his shoulders. In such a situation, it will be difficult for him to play the role of vice-captain.
Who else can become the captain apart from him? So the answer is Shubman Gill. Although it may be too early to make such a prediction about Gill. But BCCI is supporting Gill like the coach and selector of Team India. As a result, Gill is the successor to Rohit’s throne.
Shubman Gill may get the command
It is known that in July this year, India played an ODI series against Sri Lanka. In this series, Shubman Gill was given the responsibility of vice-captaincy. Not only this, he was also made the vice-captain in the T20 series, which shows that he is the choice of the BCCI selectors and coach.
Apart from this, Ajit Agarkar and Gautam Gambhir have openly praised Gill after their press conference, which makes it clear that he will be the next captain of India after Rohit Sharma. He will also lead the team in the ODI World Cup.
This is Gill’s captaincy record so far
Shubman Gill has captained Team India against Zimbabwe so far. He won this series 4-1. While captaining Gujarat Titans in the last IPL season, he won 5 out of 14 matches and lost 7 games.
