What lies ahead for Rohit Sharma?

Rohit Sharma, who successfully guided India to victory in the Champions Trophy 2025, has recently been removed from his captaincy role. This decision was influenced by his age, especially with the ICC ODI World Cup just two years away.

The Hitman is poised to make his return to the pitch after a hiatus of over six months, having been named in India's ODI squad for the forthcoming tour of Australia. Shubman Gill, who is stepping in as India's new ODI captain, faces the challenge of filling Rohit's significant shoes as the team gears up for the tough Australian series. The Men in Blue are set to compete against the Aussies in a three-match One-day series, followed by a five-match T20I series. The opening ODI is scheduled for October 19.
