According to media reports, Rohit Sharma will not be a part of the team in the ODI series against Sri Lanka (IND vs SL ODI Series) and someone else will be seen leading the team in his place.
According to a PTI report, Shubman Gill can be the captain of Team India in the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. The name of KL Rahul is also coming up for the position. Let us tell you that India played its last ODI match against South Africa in December last year in which KL Rahul captained the team.
Shubman Gill Performs very well as a Captain
If we talk about Shubman Gill, he is called the future of India and recently he led Team India in the T20 series against Zimbabwe. India won this series 4-1. Shubman had also finished the series as the highest run-scorer. The report further stated that Gill is also in contention to lead the ODI side. Captain Rohit will be rested for the series and the selectors will have to name a replacement for the ODI side as well. Pandya has reportedly asked to be rested for the ODI series and will not be given the responsibility to lead the team in the 50-over format.
Before the ODI series, the Indian team will play a three-match T20 series with Sri Lanka from July 27. Rohit Sharma has retired from T20 format, hence now Hardik Pandya can be the new T20 captain of Team India. Let us tell you that he was the vice-captain of Team India in the T20 World Cup 2024.
