Shubman Gill's emergence in Indian cricket has been nothing but miraculous, and a recent old tweet by Rohit Sharma has gone viral, showcasing just how long his exceptional talent has been known. Years back, Gill had wished Rohit happy birthday, and the superstar had responded with a simple "Thanks, future." Today, that "future" has finally arrived. Gill has been named India's full-time ODI captain, already captains the Test team, and is now also the vice-captain of T20I, solidifying his position among the most crucial leaders in Indian cricket. Watch here: Thanks future 😉 https://t.co/2tTUkuDr50 — Rohit Sharma (@ImRo45) May 1, 2020 Shubman Gill replaces Rohit Sharma as India’s new ODI captain Similarly, as Rohit passed on the Test captaincy to Shubman Gill a few months ago, the same has occurred in ODIs. Gill is handed an ominous-looking team, preconditioned under the leadership of Rohit. Shubman Gill is only 26 when he is appointed India's 28th ODI captain. His ODI numbers speak for themselves: 55 matches, 2775 runs, average 59.04, and eight centuries, including a double hundred against New Zealand in 2023. With two years remaining before the 2027 World Cup, there is more than enough time for Gill to develop his leadership style and team tactic.

Waiting for the last word on the team, Gill is now responsible for nurturing senior and emerging stars in the ODI squad. Besides statistics and wins, Rohit is leaving behind a team with a modern mindset. He laid down the template for white-ball cricket with emphasis on simplicity, hard-hitting, and clever bowling. Moments like the Champions Trophy victory at Dubai, where he danced with Virat Kohli celebrating with a dandiya, constructed from a stump, are indicative of the persona of a leader who guided the side with dignity, humility, and class. That stump is now a relic of an era that set India's ODI team for the future. Rohit's stint will be remembered in terms of providing stability, attacking strategies, and simplicity to the Indian ODI team. Having been made the Test captain and T20I vice-captain, Shubman Gill is now on the cusp of taking charge in ODI that allows continuity along with space for fresh ideas and imagination.
