Rohit Sharma Set to Lead India in Australia
Rohit Sharma Set to Lead India in Australia: With the Australia ODI series fast approaching. The Indian selection committee is set to finalize a squad facing several key changes. Due to fitness issues and workload management. Players like the injured Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant will be unavailable. While all-rounder Shubman Gill is also a candidate for rest after a packed schedule.
At the heart of the selection debate are veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Despite ongoing discussions about their long-term ODI futures, both are expected to be on the flight to Australia. Rohit, in particular, is firmly positioned to retain the captaincy. With reports suggesting the selectors see no reason for a change in leadership after a period of strong performance in the format.
Kohli and Rohit have silenced any doubters about their form following a seven-month break. Kohli delivered a century against Pakistan and a strong semi-final performance. While Rohit’s match-winning knock in the final against New Zealand was a timely return to form.
With only six ODIs scheduled this season, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is unlikely to make any hasty long-term decisions about their roles. The immediate focus remains on managing player workloads through a demanding tour, which includes eight matches across 19 days, and building momentum for the upcoming T20 World Cup and World Test Championship.
