It is noteworthy that Rohit took India to the final in the 2023 World Cup, although he could not win the World Cup title. But he won the T20 World Cup and the 2025 Champions Trophy for India. After winning the final of the Champions Trophy, Rohit said, ‘I am not going to retire from ODI cricket. So that no rumors spread.’ According to reports, the BCCI is now considering changes in the ODI team. The team management and the ODI format want to be handed over to a young player. The BCCI has a program plan for 27 ODI matches before the 2027 World Cup. In which the board will get a good opportunity to prepare a new captain. According to sources, Shreyas Iyer may get the captaincy instead of Rohit Sharma. Iyer has taken his team to the final three times in IPL 2025 and has also led Mumbai to win the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
