'End of An Era' Fans React After Rohit Sharma Is Replaced by Shubman Gill As Team India’s New ODI Captain Ahead of IND vs AUS ODI Series 2025

Star cricketer Rohit Sharma was appointed as Team India's captain in all three formats back in 2021. Since then, he was helped India play a World Test championship final, a Cricket World Cup final and won ICC T20 World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy titles. Rohit retired from both T20Is and Tests recently and was only the ODI captain. Ahead of the India vs Australia ODI series, BCCI announced Rohit has been removed as Team India captain and Shubman Gill is appointed the new skipper. This decision sparked reactions from the fans. Some of them thanked Rohit while some thought it was unfair. IND vs AUS 2025: Shubman Gill Crowned New Team India ODI Captain As Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli Return for Australia Tour.

Angry Fan Lashes Out

Rohit Sharma getting sacked from the ODI captaincy is a part of Gambhir politics. Coward Gambhir wants to steal the credit by winning the cwc 2027 with a young captain. Gambhir can never erase the legacy of captain Rohit Sharma. pic.twitter.com/wjm252YDEz

'Well Led Rohit'

Well led Rohit. One of our finest white-ball captains.

Time waits for no one and with two years left for the World Cup, it's a good time to move forward with Gill and let him settle in the job.
