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.
1. Ishan Kishan
Ishan Kishan has last featured for the national setup in 2023. Coming to ODIs, he last donned the Blues at the 2023 installment of the World Cup. However, he played only a couple of games in the tournament in which the Rohit-led unit emerged as runners-up. Kishan made his return to the BCCI contracts after being removed from the retainership list in early 2024.
One plus-point for Kishan is that he doubles up as a wicketkeeper-batter and bats left handed. Gautam Gambhir as head coach usually prefers multi-dimensional players who can ply their trade in multiple aspects as compared to only one. He is widely-regarded as a versatile batter in terms of batting position too. This could work in his favour and make him a potential replacement for Rohit Sharma.
