Indian cricket stands at a turning point as Shubman Gill steps up to lead the Men in Blue in two of the three formats. The decision sparked debate, but recent reactions suggest a surprising shift in sentiment.
Rohit Fans Begin to Warm Up
At first, many expected backlash from Rohit Sharma’s loyal supporters — and they did react strongly. But over the past few days, the tone online has softened. More Rohit fans are beginning to see Gill as a worthy successor to their idol.
Gill Grateful and Grounded
Speaking about his new ODI captaincy, Shubman Gill shared his gratitude and excitement. His words reflected humility and readiness to carry forward India’s strong cricketing legacy. His approach appears to have won over even the harshest of skeptics.
Social Media Turns Supportive
Soon after his statement, social media was flooded with congratulatory posts. Fans praised the young skipper and expressed hope that Gill will continue Rohit’s remarkable legacy in the ODI format. For many, it marked a new era of optimism.
Some Still Unconvinced
Not everyone is convinced yet. A few die-hard Rohit supporters continue to question Gill’s decisions and leadership style. Their scrutiny remains sharp, but even among them, resentment seems to be fading.
A Promising New Chapter
That Rohit’s fans have started showing support so early is something few expected. All eyes are now on Gill to see if he can lead India’s ODI team with the same flair and consistency that defined Rohit’s era.
