3 players who can replace Rohit Sharma as India's ODI opener
Rohit was recently removed from his role as the full-time captain of the ODI team.
2. Abhishek Sharma
Abhishek Sharma has only featured in T20Is till now. He has been in explosive form of late. Abhishek recently starred in India's title-winning Asia Cup 2025 campaig, registering 314 runs in seven matches at an outstanding strike rate of 200.
The southpaw could very well be a part of the 50-over setup, and if he could transform his T20 exploits in the 50-over format, then he will become an even more valuable asset for the team. Abhishek also tunes in well with Gill since the two have been playing age-group cricket for Punjab since the U-12 days. This makes him an ideal candidate to partner Gill at the top.
