Sourav Ganguly on Thursday (October 9, 2025) mentioned that protecting the 2027 ODI World Cup in thoughts it was a good resolution to advertise Shubman Gill as India’s one-day captain rather than Rohit Sharma.

Ganguly, a former India captain, assumed that the choice was taken in session with Rohit.

I believe what has gone within the selectors’ thoughts is in two years’ time, after they go to South Africa, he can be 40 years previous,” Ganguly informed reporters at an occasion of Annapurna Snacks right here.

“Ten years down the road when Gill will get near 40…he may even must face this example. In sport, whether or not it’s Federer, Sampras, Nadal or Maradona, they may all have to complete some day.

“It’s not a nasty resolution to advertise Gill. He has proven loads of expertise (as a batter and a captain throughout the Test collection) in England. I believe it has been performed in session with Rohit. It’s a good name. Rohit can preserve enjoying and you retain grooming a younger captain.”

Ganguly mentioned the seasoned duo of Rohit and Virat Kohli – who’ve retired from T20Is and Tests – should play commonly. “It is determined by how match they continue to be and the way they carry out. Whatever alternative they get (they need to use), they must play home cricket. Otherwise, you lose contact, type and make contact with,” mentioned Ganguly.
