Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are set to return to international cricket as India face Australia in a three-match ODI series starting October 19. The series marks the beginning of a new phase, with Shubman Gill leading the team and Gautam Gambhir as head coach. Selectors chose to look ahead to the 2027 World Cup, replacing Rohit with Gill as captain. Yet, Rohit and Kohli’s inclusion shows respect for experience. The challenge for Gambhir will be balancing transition and teamwork. With only 20 ODIs before 2027, India’s focus will be on form, fitness, and maintaining harmony in the dressing room.
