Former cricketer Amit Mishra welcomes this change. He thinks Rohit can now play freely without captaincy pressure. Gill became Test captain in May after Rohit's retirement. He scored 754 runs in England. Mishra believes early captaincy will help Gill mature faster. The first ODI is on Sunday in Perth, Australia. (Updated 16 Oct 2025, 17:05 IST; source: link)
