What did Shubhman Gill say? (PC-PTI)
With the announcement of the ODI team for the Australia tour, the fans got a big shock when Champions Trophy winning captain Rohit Sharma was removed from the captaincy. In his place, Shubman Gill was also given the command of the ODI team. After getting the ODI captaincy, Shubman Gill addressed the media for the first time and he told the world something which is quite interesting. Shubman Gill said that the captain of the ODI team was announced in the middle of the Ahmedabad Test but he already knew that he was going to become the ODI captain.
Shubhman Gill Speaking to the media, he said, 'The announcement happened in the middle of the test match but I had already known about it. This is a big responsibility and honour. I am ready to lead my country in the ODI format. The past few months have been exciting for me and I am ready for the future. It is clear from this statement of Shubman Gill that he already knew about the removal of Rohit Sharma. He knew that Rohit Sharma's captaincy was about to go. Meaning, this matter had already been discussed between Gautam Gambhir, Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar and Shubman Gill.
Shubman Gill knew that he was going to become the captain of the ODI team, which means he would also know what was going to happen next with Rohit? It is being said that it will be difficult for Rohit Sharma to play till the ODI World Cup. Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar himself is not guaranteeing this. But meanwhile, Shubman Gill has definitely said that Team India needs Virat and Rohit in the ODI format. Let us tell you that both Virat and Rohit will be seen playing in the ODI series against Australia. The three-match ODI series against Australia will be played from October 19. The question is, is this the last series of both of their careers?
