Even though there is still a lot of time left for the ODI World Cup 2027, the BCCI has started its preparations from now on. In this tournament, India can take the field under a 25-year-old young captain.

BCCI: The Board of Control for Cricket in India has now come into action mode. Learning from the continuous defeat, the BCCI selectors have now started preparations to form the future Team India. Also, the BCCI has started its preparations for the 2027 ODI World Cup. The special thing is that before the ODI World Cup 2027, captain Rohit Sharma can announce his retirement, after which this 25-year-old player can be appointed as the next captain of India.

Will the young player take over the command?

Team India's young opener Shubman Gill can be seen captaining India in the 2027 ODI World Cup. Gill is already being seen as the new captain of Team India. At the same time, BCCI official and chief selector Ajit Agarkar has already started training Shubman Gill under Rohit Sharma to teach him the tricks of captaincy.

Shubman Gill was made the vice-captain of the ODI team on the Sri Lanka tour, while Rohit Sharma was handling the captaincy. At the same time, Shubman Gill has once again been appointed as the vice-captain in the Champions Trophy 2025, while Rohit Sharma has been made the captain. The BCCI wants Shubman Gill to soon learn the qualities of captaincy from Rohit Sharma.

BCCI wants to make changes

According to Times of India reports, the BCCI now wants to go through a phase of change, where more investment can be made on new players instead of old players so that they can serve Indian cricket for a long time. At the same time, BCCI is also eyeing the 2027 ODI World Cup, for which it can prepare young players from now on. According to media reports, after the BCCI Champions Trophy 2025, Rohit Sharma can also ask many questions about his future plans.

Shubman's brilliant performance in ODIs

The young opener's performance with the white ball has been amazing. Gill has also scored a double century in ODIs like Rohit Sharma and he is completely following in his footsteps. BCCI would be expecting Gill to be like Rohit Sharma in captaincy as well as batting, while Gill himself would also like to be the best in the art of captaincy.

Let us tell you that Gill has played 47 ODIs for India so far, in which he has scored 2328 runs with a tremendous average of 58.2 and a strong strike rate of 101.7. During this, he has scored 6 centuries and 13 half-centuries including a double century for India. The special thing is that Gill has mastery in playing traditional shots of cricket, due to which he is such a successful batsman in ODIs.
