Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh says that seeing Rohit Sharma going to Australia for the ODI series solely as a player and not as a captain is a bit of a shocker. Notably, Shubman Gill replaced the Mumbai batter as the ODI captain when the BCCI announced the squads for the Australia tour.

Speaking on JioHotstar after the conclusion of the first Test between India and West Indies, Harbhajan Singh shared his thoughts on Shubman Gill’s appointment as ODI captain:

“Congratulations to Shubman Gill. Obviously, he has been leading the team well in Test cricket, and now he’s been given another responsibility: to lead the ODI side as well. Of course, Rohit has been replaced as captain by Shubman, and Rohit is someone who holds a very good record in white-ball cricket.
