The BCCI selection committee on Saturday announced India’s squad for the upcoming white-ball series against Australia. Indian Test captain Shubman Gill replaced incumbent Rohit Sharma as the skipper for the upcoming ODI series against Australia. Shreyas Iyer will play as a vice-captain for the series. The series will see three ODIs and five T20Is India vs Australia games scheduled from October 19 to November 2.
The headline decision sees 26-year-old Gill appointed as India’s new ODI captain, succeeding Sharma. Under the four-year captaincy of ‘Hitman’, India won the 2025 Champions Trophy — their first major ICC title in over a decade.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, both senior stalwarts, are part of the ODI squad. It will be very interesting to watch Gill and Sharma open for the match
