Indian cricket is in a big transition, with fresh faces taking charge in different formats. After Shubman Gill became vice-captain in T20s, reports now suggest that the BCCI is planning to make Shreyas Iyer the next India ODI captain, replacing Rohit Sharma. Iyer’s strong performance in the Champions Trophy 2025, where he scored consistently, has impressed the selectors. If all goes well, he could lead Team India in ODIs until the 2027 World Cup, giving the side a fresh yet experienced leader.
What BCCI is Planning
According to reports, the BCCI intends to meet players and selectors after the Asia Cup 2025 to discuss the future of India’s ODI team. Shreyas Iyer is a leading name in the discussions. He has already proved his leadership by winning the IPL 2024 with Kolkata Knight Riders and taking Punjab Kings to the final in the IPL 2025. With his strong form and captaincy record, Iyer is seen as the best choice for India’s ODI captaincy in 2025 and beyond.
