Team India: After Rohit, Shreyas Iyer can get the command of One Day team.

The board is planning for the 2027 World Cup captain Shreyas Iyer.

The ups and downs in Indian cricket seem to be never ending. Cricket’s incredibly busy schedule has made it nearly impossible for players to play in their usual three-match format. Reports are circulating regarding Shreyas Iyer, who was sidelined for the Asia Cup T20, that the BCCI is considering appointing him as the ODI captain in place of Rohit Sharma.

In 2025, the performance of the year was excellent.

The batsman was not included in the Asia Cup squad in the middle order, and there is talk of giving him a new responsibility instead. While it was previously said that Test captain Shubman Gill could be given the captaincy of the three formats, reports now claim that the BCCI is considering the option of a separate captain for the ODI format. Shreyas had a wonderful performance in the Champions Trophy and he scored 243 runs at an average of 48.60 and gave victory to Team India by showing his amazing performance with his batting in difficult times.

He has been successful as a captain

According to sources, the board is looking at Shreyas Iyer as a long-term option, keeping the 2027 ODI World Cup in mind. Rohit’s fitness doesn’t appear to be such that he can continue playing until 2027, while Shreyas has been successful as captain in the IPL. Earlier this year, the 30-year-old played a key role in India’s title campaign. He scored 15, 56, 79, 45, and 48 in five matches.

Rohit is 38 years old.

Rohit Sharma is 38 years old, and after retiring from T20 and Test cricket, speculation is rife that his last appearance could be in the ODI series against Australia in October. However, reports state that the BCCI will discuss his future outlook after the Asia Cup. Rohit and Virat will also be consulted on this matter. If Rohit does step down, Shreyas Iyer will be given the responsibility.

Why Gill is not in the running for ODI captaincy

Gill was initially considered a potential captain for all formats, but is now unlikely to take on the role of ODI captain. Despite recently serving as vice-captain of the ODI team and boasting an impressive record in that format, the BCCI wants to manage his activities more carefully.
