Rohit Sharma<\/strong>: Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly backed the decision to replace\u00a0Rohit Sharma\u00a0as the ODI skipper ahead of the upcoming Australian tour. Ganguly added that the management must have reached a final consensus after consultation with Rohit, or so it appears from the outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a stunning development, chief selector Ajit Agarkar confirmed\u00a0Shubman Gill\u00a0replacing Rohit Sharma as the ODI captain while announcing the ODI and T20I squads for the\u00a0upcoming white-ball series\u00a0down under. It brought to an end Rohit’s incredible ODI captaincy tenure, where he led India to 42 wins in 56 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talking about the move in a recent event, Ganguly said (via\u00a0TOI):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“I think it has been done in consultation with Rohit, from outside… I don’t know what’s inside. Somewhere down the line, I feel that it’s a fair call. Rohit can keep playing and in the meantime, you keep grooming a young captain. So, I really don’t see a problem in that.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

He added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“In the last two years, he (Rohit) has won the T20 World Cup. He has won the Champions Trophy. So, performance is not the issue with Rohit Sharma. But when they go to 2027 in South Africa, he will be 40 years old. And that’s a big number in sport. And he has played for so long. So, I don’t think anybody is sure whether Rohit will actually play when he is 40. So, I don’t think it’s the worst decision. It happens to everyone.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Rohit led India to the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup at home and glory in their most recent ODI event, the 2025 Champions Trophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“They have to play domestic cricket” – Sourav Ganguly on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s future<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Shubman Gill backs Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, calling them true match-winners as India gears up for 2027 ODI World Cup discussions. \ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf3\ud83d\ude4c#AUSvIND<\/a> #RohitSharma<\/a> #ViratKohli<\/a> #Sportskeeda<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/ROLgnYbTPU<\/a><\/p>— Sportskeeda (@Sportskeeda) October 9, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote> \n\n\n\n

Sourav Ganguly<\/a> urged\u00a0Virat Kohli\u00a0and Rohit Sharma<\/a> to play domestic cricket regularly to remain in top form. The legendary duo have retired from T20Is and Tests and will remain available for India only in the 50-over format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Yes, 40 is a lot of age. It depends on him (Rohit) \u2014 how fit he stays, how much cricket he plays and how many runs he scores\u2026 Whatever opportunity they get, they have to play domestic cricket. Because cricket is a sport where you have to keep playing \u2014 otherwise, you lose the touch and the form and the contact,” said Ganguly (via the aforementioned source).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Ganguly <\/a>also praised newly-appointed ODI skipper Shubman Gill,<\/a> saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“For the tour of England, I thought he was brilliant. I have seen the five-Test series. The way he has played and the way he has captained the team is extraordinary. That is why he has been made the captain of the ODI team for the future. Lot of potential, both as a player and captain.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In his first assignment as Test captain, Gill <\/a>performed admirably, leading all-scorers with 754 runs, including four centuries, as India finished with a 2-2 draw in England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
