In a major leadership shake-up for Indian cricket, Shubman Gill has been appointed as India’s new ODI captain, replacing Rohit Sharma. Former India captain and BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has backed the decision, calling it “a fair call” while emphasizing the long-term vision ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup.

Speaking at an Annapurna Snacks event in Kolkata, Ganguly highlighted the rationale behind the change. “Rohit has been an outstanding leader. In the last two years, he has won the T20 World Cup and the Champions Trophy. I think what has gone in the selectors’ mind is that in 2027, when India go to South Africa, Rohit will be 40 years old,” Ganguly said.
