India National Cricket Team captain Rohit Sharma is all set to lead the team in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025. As per the reports in RevSportz, it is learned that there won’t be any change in the white-ball captaincy of the team, especially in big tournament.
Rohit Sharma has come under massive scrutiny after he failed in Test cricket. The India National Cricket Team skipper was dropped from the playing XI in the ongoing fifth game of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, which is taking place at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney.
Rohit Sharma was replaced by Shubman Gill in the XI and the captaincy was given to Jasprit Bumrah in the Sydney Test
Rohit was replaced by Shubman Gill in the XI and the captaincy was given to Jasprit Bumrah. This has raised a lot of speculations that the career of the India National Cricket Team skipper in the longest format of the game is over and there will be a new leader in the team.
The talks even shifted to Rohit Sharma’s future in the ODIs as well, especially with his poor form with the bat. Some reports claimed that the senior opener might not captain the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, and a new skipper will be taking charge.
Reports claimed Hardik Pandya will be taking over as the captain in ODIs
It was learned that if Rohit Sharma’s leadership came under scrutiny there are chances that Hardik Pandya will be taking over as the captain in ODIs. This became the major talk of the town, especially after his snub from the Test XI for the ongoing game.
But RevSportz confirmed that Rohit will be leading the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The India National Cricket Team skipper has been a terrific leader in white-ball cricket as he has found great success in both ODIs as well as the T20Is.

Rohit Sharma ended India’s ICC title drought, and took the team to the win in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024
Rohit ended India’s ICC title drought and took the team to the win in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Also, it was under his leadership that the team reached the final of the ICC World Cup 2023 without even losing a single game in the league stage as well as the semi-final against New Zealand.
Rohit, with his selfless approach, has changed the dynamics of the way the India National Cricket Team have been playing the game. He has led from the front and has shown his team the way how to play. Although he has struggled in Tests of late, he is a completely different batter when it comes to ODIs.
Rohit currently is the No.2 ranked batter in the ICC ODI rankings. The batter would be hoping to reply to all the criticism in what will be a big white-ball season. He would want to replicate what he did in the T20 World Cup last year and help the team win the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
