Rohit Sharma has accepted the BCCI’s decision to remove him as India’s ODI captain, with Shubman Gill appointed in his place. Legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar said the move was necessary to prepare younger players and warned of more changes ahead. Gavaskar noted that Rohit and Virat Kohli face challenges due to limited ODI matches, which could affect their readiness for the 2027 World Cup. India will play fewer ODIs in the next two years, making match practice a concern. Rohit and Kohli are expected to return in the Australia series starting October 19, but the end of their ODI careers may be approaching. (PC: BCCI)
