The BCCI on Saturday declared Shubman Gill as the captain of the ODI team for the tour of Australia. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are still part of the team but the ODI captaincy was taken away from Rohit Sharma. Due to which Rohit Sharma’s fans are very angry and are expressing their anger on social media for BCCI.
Some fans have thanked Hitman for taking India to unprecedented heights in ODIs, while others suggested that BCCI should have better handled the situation. Apart from MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma is the only captain whose captaincy has reached the final of ICC White Ball Cricket thrice, including the T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy title. He was runner -up in the World Cup in ODIs.
Let me tell you that Rohit Sharma won 42 in 56 ODIs while being ODI captain. In which his win percentage was 76. This step of the selection panel also shows the change in the form of captain of all the formats of Gill. However, Rohit is included in the 15 -man squad with veteran players like Virat Kohli for the upcoming Australia tour.
Removing Rohit Sharma from captaincy isn’t just unfair — it’s pure disrespect to a legend. 💔

During this, Agarkar said that, yes, I mean they are playing in this format at this time and we have chosen them. As far as 2027 World Cup is concerned, I do not think that we need to talk about it today, obviously this is being thought about the change in captaincy.
