The star Indian player and one of the best skippers of Team India, Rohit Sharma’s era as ODI captain came to an end last Sunday. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) committee Chief Ajit Agarkar announced that the young Indian sensation Shubman Gill will handle the responsibility after his great success and growth in the Test Team.
However, after announcing this update, many fans are still in shock after seeing Rohit’s removal from the ODI captaincy. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has shared the logical reason behind this decision. As they wanted to groom young star Shubman Gill for the biggest upcoming event of all time the 2027 World Cup.
However, after this decision of The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Rohit Sharma’s 13-year-old post goes viral. The post from Rohit read: “End of an era (45) and the start of a new one (77)…“
The post went viral and fans got crazy after witnessing that post, where ”Hitman” Rohit Sharma’s jersey number is 45 and the new captain of the ODI team, Shubman Gill’s wears the number 77. Many fans wonder that Rohit had predicted the 2025 captaincy change in 2012.
At the age of 26, Shubman Gill officially gained the opportunity to handle the responsibility of the Indian team in the Anderson-Tendulkar Test series, where the team managed a 2-2 draw. However, Gill became India’s Test Captain after Rohit Sharma’s retirement.
Shubman Gill will start his journey as the ODI team captain in Australia, with the first match on October 19 in Perth. However, former Australia captain Aaron Finch is excited to see Gill’s performance as a skipper in his ODI debut. He also stated that having experienced and star players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli on the field will boost him.
