Rohit Sharma is the captain of the Indian men\u2019s ODI cricket team. Under his leadership, India finished as runners-up in the ODI World Cup 2023 and won the ICC Champions Trophy title earlier this year. In the summit clash played in Dubai on March 9, 2025, against New Zealand, Rohit played a 76-run knock in the 252-run chase. For his super show with the bat in the match Men in Blue won by four wickets, Rohit also won the Player of the Match award.<\/p>\n

In all likelihood Rohit will captain India now in the three-match ODI series against Australia as well in October 2025. But since Rohit\u2019s retirement from Test cricket on May 7, 2025, there have been constant talks about his exit from ODIs as well. Many former greats and experts of the game feel that Rohit might not feature in the 2027 ODI World Cup.<\/p>\n

But according to former India batter Mohammad Kaif, the next 50-over mega event, which will be jointly hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia in a couple of years\u2019 time, will be Rohit\u2019s last tournament for India.<\/p>\n

He feels that after Rohit\u2019s exit, the Indian team management will appoint Shubman Gill as the new captain.<\/p>\n

Gill is the current captain of India\u2019s Test team and vice-captain of white-ball teams (both ODIs and T20Is).<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the last three years, Gill has scored 2,000 runs. He is the future captain. He is the Test captain, and in T20Is, he is the vice-captain. Rohit is the ODI captain. He is almost 38 and I believe will retire after the 2027 ODI World Cup. When he steps away, Gill will become the captain,” Kaif said on his YouTube channel.<\/p>\n

Rohit, who has scored more than 11,000 runs in ODI cricket, is the world\u2019s No. 2 batter in the 50-over format of the game. In the 11 ODI matches played since the conclusion of the 2023 ODI World Cup, Rohit has registered scores of 58, 64, 35, 2, 119, 1, 41, 20, 15, 28 and 76 runs.<\/p>\n

He was India\u2019s top run-getter in all three ODI matches played against Sri Lanka in Colombo last year.<\/p>\n
