Ajit Agarkar’s announcement naming Shubman Gill as India’s new ODI captain has sparked major outrage among fans. The decision surprised many, as the move comes while Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are still active and fit for international cricket.
Controversy Over Agarkar’s Statement
During the press conference, Agarkar said both Rohit and Virat were “non-committal” about playing the 2027 ODI World Cup. His remark didn’t sit well with fans, who felt it hinted at internal issues within the team’s management.
Fans Rally Behind Rohit and Virat
Social media erupted soon after, with fans demanding Agarkar’s removal as chief selector. Many are struggling to accept that Rohit and Virat might not represent India in another World Cup, especially when both are still performing at a high level.
Fitness and Loyalty Debates Heat Up
Supporters are standing firmly with both players, particularly Virat, who they believe is fit enough to play until 2027. Many argue that the decision feels political, not practical, given their experience and contribution to Indian cricket.
Awaiting Clarity After Australia Tour
For now, the situation remains uncertain. A final word is expected only after Rohit and Virat complete their Australia tour. Fans hope the two legends silence every doubt with strong performances and plenty of runs to their names.
