India’s star opener Shubman Gill has been appointed ODI captain for the upcoming three-match series against Australia, beginning October 19, 2025. The BCCI made the move to groom the 26-year-old as a long-term leader ahead of the 2027 ICC World Cup. Gill, who impressed as Test captain during the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy in England, replaces Rohit Sharma, who is set to make a comeback after an eight-month break. Despite the leadership shift, both Rohit and Virat Kohli are expected to feature in the squad, offering experience alongside Gill’s fresh leadership approach.
