But now such reports are coming out that Rohit Sharma can be seen captaining in the ODI series. Team India’s new head coach Gautam Gambhir has made it clear that every player will have to be available for all three formats. It has also been clearly stated in the report that the board has not put any pressure on these players to play. However, there have been some indications from Rohit Sharma that he may make himself available for the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka in August. Considering that Team India has very few ODI matches to prepare before the Champions Trophy to be held in February-March 2025. Rohit Sharma can play in the ODI series against Sri Lanka According to the Cricbuzz report, this is the reason why Rohit Sharma can be seen in these three ODIs. He is currently enjoying his holidays in the US. It is expected that he will inform the BCCI about his availability soon, possibly he will send his reply to the board before the online meeting on Wednesday. If Rohit Sharma decides to play in the ODI series, he will undoubtedly lead the team. However, players like Jasprit Bumrah and Virat Kohli have been rested for the Sri Lanka series and their chances of joining the team are low. If Rohit Sharma does not play in this series, then KL Rahul can captain the ODI series. Apart from this, Shreyas Iyer can also return to the ODI team.

Under his leadership, Team India played the finals of three ICC tournaments in the last one year, in which India won one and lost two. The kind of bonding Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir share is well known to all the fans. They hugged each other during IPL 2024, but they have been involved in heated arguments many times in the past and it was speculated that Kohli might play a big role in the selection of the new head coach, however, that was not the case when the board appointed Gautam Gambhir. BCCI appointed Gautam Gambhir as head coach without consulting Virat Kohli Virat Kohli has retired from the shortest format of cricket after the T20 World Cup, but it is believed that he will definitely play the ODI format at least till the 2027 World Cup. Keeping all these things in mind, the BCCI appointed Gambhir as the head coach without consulting Kohli. A BCCI source confirmed this to Hindustan Times. The BCCI source said, “There is enough time for talks between the two. But it is important for the BCCI to look at the bigger picture, as many young players can be seen playing for Team India in the coming years.” The report further states that Hardik Pandya was one of the few players whose opinion was taken by the BCCI before appointing Gambhir as India’s head coach. After Rohit Sharma’s retirement from T20, there are chances that Hardik Pandya can be made the captain of the team in this format.
