Rohit Sharma was removed from the post of ODI captaincy

New Delhi. The Selection Committee of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Saturday announced to appoint Shubman Gill as the new ODI captain, announcing the team for Australia’s limited overs tour. This announcement surprised many people in the cricket world, who were thinking that Rohit Sharma did so wrong that he was removed from the post of captain of the team. The selection committee chief Ajit Agarkar gave some reasons behind this decision. He also indicated that Rohit’s team was not guaranteed in future ODI plans. The same uncertainty also applies to Virat Kohli, who is only an active player in ODI cricket like Rohit.

A report by the Times of India claimed that informal but important discussions between the BCCI selection committee and the team management created a blueprint for the 2027 World Cup. Many people suggested that Gill should be made captain in a 50 -over format. The biggest challenge in this change was to handle Rohit Sharma, who recently gave India the title of Champions Trophy. White ball was maintained strong form in cricket. Some people argued that the interval of two years for the World Cup is very long and since Rohit is limited to ODI cricket only, he will not get enough match practice.

Rohit Sharma was removed from the captaincy of ODI today.

Despite this, Rohit met all fitness requirements. The lack of his recent sports time was a decisive factor. His last competitive match was in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for Mumbai Indians (Mi) and his last international match was the final of the Champions Trophy.

Evaluation of senior players

The report further claimed that Rohit was initially divided by India being one of India’s most successful white ball captains. However, as the tour of Australia came close, the division began to decrease and most of the top officials agreed to change. It is a little surprising that both Rohit and Virat Kohli were being equally judged for ODIs. Despite this, there was a difference between two years of age between them and the difference between the fitness level.

According to the report, “If we continue to pull things, it will only become complicated. With two players, one 38 (Rohit) and another 36 (Kohli), you cannot bet quickly. Yes, even young players can lose form and fitness, but it is a safe bet.”
