Shreyas Iyer becomes the ODI captain of Team India, BCCI's plan ready, waiting for Rohit Sharma's decision
For everyone, it was surprising to have the Batsman Shreyas Iyer of Team India approved in the Asia Cup 2025 team. Meanwhile, some reports claim that the Council of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has a separate plan for Shreyas Iyer. It is said that he would take the order over the ODI team in place of the T20 World Championships and the ICC Champions trophy that Captain Rohit Sharma won, but now an official update has come across the case. The most powerful person of BCCI completely denied it. It has also come to light that Shubman Gill will get the responsibility of ODIs. The name of Shreyas Iyer for Captaincy in Odis is not discussed. Devjit Saikia, secretary of BCCI, rejected all these reports. He told Hindustan Times in an interview that such things are news to him as well. It is also alleged that there is currently no plan to change the ODI captaincy, and even if so, he will not be Shreyas Iyer. He said: This (change in captaincy) is also news for me. There was no such discussion. If Shubman Gill is in shape, then the vice captain is the biggest contender for Captaincy. Another BCCI official said he (Shubman Gill) is the Vice captain of the ODI team and has an average of 59 in ODIs. Anyone who has recently been appointed as test captain, who has had great success and the youth, should not take the captaincy in ODI cricket when the time comes. Let’s tell you that the bat of World Cup winner Shubman Gill, the World Cup winner, is raining on every ground in the world, while playing many historic innings at an early age. His current form makes him a dangerous batsman like Virat Kohli. Everyone’s eyes on Australia tour, deciding on Rohit Sharma is possible! On the other hand, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli still play ODIs. He will end up on the ground for the ODI series held in Australia in October. Meanwhile, media reports claim that the selectors are quite serious about both. Both are in the race for ODI Captaincy. The report also said that the selection committee is not confident that Rohit’s form and fitness will remain until the next ODI World Championships in October-November 2027. Gill’s future, as the T20I captain depends on the new aggressive style of India, while Suryakumar will lead the team to the World Cup. Share this story -tags
