Team India's Test captain Shubman Gill is all set to replace Rohit Sharma as skipper in the One Day Internationals (ODIs) as well, and his first assignment will be the 3-match series against Australia, starting October 19 in Perth. As per a report by The Indian Express, the decision to make Gill the ODI captain was taken by the team's management so that he can lead the Men in Blue in the 2027 World Cup , which will be played in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia.

The report also claims that head coach Gautam Gambhir was also kept in the loop before making the decision to hand over the captaincy to Gill. For those unversed, Gill was given the charge of leading Team India in the red-ball format earlier this year.
