Rohit Sharma’s ODI Exit Sparks Debate Over Leadership and Legacy
As Rohit Sharma approaches 40 in 2027—the same age as Imran Khan when he lifted the 1992 World Cup—debate swirls around the decision to fast-track Shubman Gill into One-Day International captaincy. Many fans and cricket experts believe Rohit, who has built the team with patience, vision, and unmatched game-reading ability, deserved a more respectful transition.
Under his leadership, India won several major tournaments, and his calm presence at the crease and in the dressing room made him a pillar of modern Indian cricket. Critics argue that while grooming young talent is essential, the selectors moved too quickly, sidelining a leader still capable of delivering at the highest level. The abrupt nature of Rohit’s removal from ODI captaincy feels less like a strategic move and more like an oversight of his contributions. His legacy, however, remains firmly etched in Indian cricket history.
