Rohit and Kohli will be back for West Indies ODIs, with Shubman Gill captaining India.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who last played for India in England ODIs, will be back in action when India faces off against the West Indies in the first ODI in Thiruvananthapuram on September 27. Shubman Gill will captain the Indian side, looking for a continuous winning path as the Men in Blue begin their road to the ICC World Cup 2027.
Gambhir said that the India Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill was very lucky to have those two stalwarts around him, who were ever ready to help him on and off the field.
“In one-day cricket, when you talk about it, he's very fortunate that he's got the likes of Rohit and Virat to help him on the field and off the field as well. And then, more importantly, I think that calmness, I think, is keeping the emotions aside, because when you're young, sometimes you can actually get dragged into the emotions as well.
He has actually ticked all the boxes. He has been calm, he has been selfless, he has been aggressive, he has said the right things… he leads by example, not only by runs. So I feel that he has done all the right things. Hopefully, he'll get the results as well because he has had a bit of a tough time in one-day cricket. But I am sure, I think things will turn around because he has done all the right things,” Gambhir said in an interview on JioStar.
If we go by the words of the Indian team coach Gautam Gambhir, then it would definitely be a bonus for both Rohit and Virat Kohli. Once you take a closer look at the words of Gautam, it becomes very clear that now the BCCI has thrown its weight behind the veteran players and will stay in the team till the 2027 World Cup at least
