Current captain Rohit Sharma and former Indian captain Virat Kohli will also be part of the team. Gill's appointment is likely after the selectors consult with the Test captain.
Shubman Gill's appointment is likely because the selectors spoke with the Test captain and told him that, keeping the bigger picture in mind, they want him to captain the team for the ICC World Cup 2027, to be played in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia in 2027.

According to a report in the Indian Express, the selectors have also informed head coach Gautam Gambhir and Rohit Sharma about the leadership change in ODI cricket. If Rohit's captaincy is taken over from him and handed over to the young Gill, it would be a major change. Suryakumar Yadav may be retained as captain for the three-match T20 series in Australia after the ODIs.
Preparing for a New Team
The BCCI has begun preparing for a new team with an eye on the future. If Gill is appointed captain, the team will begin preparing for the future. Before the 2027 World Cup, the BCCI may also make a major decision regarding the future of Rohit and Kohli. The team management will want to find replacements for these two players as soon as possible. Consequently, the ODI series against Australia could prove to be Rohit and Kohli's last series.
