Rohit Sharma's ODI Captaincy: Stats Reveal Strong Record
After Rohit Sharma’s retirement from Test cricket, Shubman Gill was entrusted with the captaincy in the red-ball format.
Rohit Sharma has retired from Test and T20 cricket, but he remains active in the ODI format and continues to lead the Indian team.
However, reports are now emerging suggesting that Shubman Gill might be handed the captaincy for India’s next ODI series.
Although there is no official confirmation from the BCCI yet, the buzz around a leadership change is growing. In the midst of this, let’s take a look at Rohit’s ODI captaincy statistics.
Rohit Sharma’s Record as ODI Captain
Captain Rohit Sharma, who led India to two ICC titles within just nine months, has delivered an outstanding record as ODI captain.
From 2017 to 2025, Rohit has captained India in 56 ODIs, winning 42 matches and losing only 12. One match ended in a tie, while another had no result.
This gives the ‘Hitman’ a remarkable win percentage of 75%, a figure that reflects his consistency and effectiveness as a leader. His composed presence on the field and strategic decision-making have made him one of India’s most reliable captains in the ODI format.
Will Shubman Gill Take Over?
After Rohit Sharma’s retirement from Test cricket, Shubman Gill was entrusted with the captaincy in the red-ball format.
Therefore, many believe that Gill could also be in line to take over as ODI captain once Rohit steps down. Recent reports claim that Gill is being considered to lead India in the 2027 ODI World Cup.
Additionally, speculation suggests that Shubman Gill may captain the Indian team in the ODI series scheduled for October.
However, so far, no official announcement has been made by either the BCCI or the players involved. Until then, Rohit Sharma continues to lead, with an impressive track record that only strengthens his case as India’s current ODI captain.
