But it is not yet clear who will be the captain of the ODI team. Earlier it was being said that KL Rahul will be the captain of the team but now he seems to be out of the team.

Shubman Gill is also in the race

According to media reports, Shubman Gill is also in the race to become the ODI captain. Recently, Gill captained Team India on the Zimbabwe tour. Team India won the T20 series 4-1 in Zimbabwe. Now there is talk of making Gill the captain of the ODI team. By making Gill the captain, Team India management is eyeing the future. Actually, Gill is a player who plays all three formats and it is possible that the team management is looking at him as an alternative to Rohit Sharma. However, this news has not been confirmed yet. By the way, if KL Rahul does not become the ODI captain, then this is bad news for him, he was also not selected in the T20 World Cup squad recently.

Who will be the captain of the T20 and ODI team will depend on Gautam Gambhir. For head coach Gautam Gambhir, the Sri Lanka tour will be the first assignment as head coach and from here he will prepare the roadmap for the next four years.
