According to Sportskeeda

Shubman Gill is likely to lead Team India in the next ODI series, potentially taking over the captaincy from Rohit Sharma.

But why They're forcing him to retire from ODIs also now

This was bound to happen. 2027 wc is in Nov 2027. Rohit will be close to 41 by then. Let's be realistic it was never going to happen. I think Rohit will get a farewell series either this year in Australia or next year at home

Ideally he & Virat should had retired after CT25 & continue test match as

Completely agree bro that too if selected

Karma for Sharma. Relied on BCCI politics in 2021 to usurp captaincy, now the same BCCI politics is coming to bite him hard..

Don't club Rohit and Kohli together. Kohli is 2 years younger plus way more fitter

Even though is fitter but at the time of 2027 wc he will be 38
Will he able to maintain his fitness by just playing 20 odd games till next wc of the format
I'm not counting ipl games here

imagine being the fittest player just to retire from tests at 36 giving the reason of beard turning white & scoring just half runs of the cricketer u replaced

fitness is not going to be the criteria for his selection now as long as GG is there

There's difference between being 38 and 41. Sachin was also 38 during 2011 wc but nobody has played WC at the age of 41

This discussion is about ODIs not test. Test is completely different format. His red ball game had deteriorated long time ago and he moved away at the right time.
