Key Highlights

  • The BCCI recently promoted Shubman Gill to the captaincy role in ODIs due to the same thinking. There are also reports that BCCI could hold a meeting with chief selector Ajit Agarkar and Gambhir after the South Africa ODIs to chalk out a proper roadmap for Kohli and Rohit for the 2027 ODI World Cup, which would also counter fears related to match-fitness. Amid the raging debate over Kohli and Rohit’s place in the ODIs and the rumours of discord in the dressing room, former BCCI head selector MSK Prasad has said that Gambhir must use the influence of the veterans like Shastri did with Dhoni.
