The BCCI on Saturday appointed Shubman Gill as India’s ODI skipper for the upcoming 3-match series against Australia. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are still very much part of the team and will return to action Down Under. However, the baton has been passed to Gill, and the stalwarts will be functioning under him.

Meanwhile, Rohit’s fans took to social media to express their emotions, calling it the end of an era. A few thanked the Hitman for taking India to unprecedented heights in ODIs, while others suggested that the situation should have been handled in a better way by the BCCI.

Rohit is the only skipper apart from Mahendra Singh Dhoni who led India to three ICC white ball finals, winning the T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy titles. He had a runner-up finish at the ODI World Cup.
