Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif feels that the ODI World Cup 2027 will be Team India skipper Rohit Sharma’s last tournament, and he is also expecting that the management will appoint Shubman Gill as the new captain in ODIs.
While speaking on his YouTube channel, Kaif said that Gill has scored 2,000 runs in the previous three years and will also become the captain of Team India in the future.
“In the last three years, Gill has scored 2,000 runs. He is the future captain. He is the Test captain, and in T20Is, he is the vice-captain. Rohit is the ODI captain. He is almost 38, and I believe will retire after the 2027 ODI World Cup. When he steps away, Gill will become the captain,” he said.
