NEW DELHI: As India prepare to begin a new chapter in ODIs under Shubman Gill<\/a>, the young captain spoke about his relationship with Rohit Sharma<\/a> after taking over the ODI leadership ahead of the three-match series against Australia. The first ODI of the series is scheduled for Sunday at Perth\u2019s Optus Stadium.\u201cWhatever the narrative might be outside, there has been no such thing between us. It is just like old times. He is very helpful, and he always shares his experiences. I have been asking him for his suggestions. I asked him, ‘What would you have done on this wicket if you were the captain?’ I like to pick the brains of other players,\u201d Gill told reporters in Perth on Saturday.<\/p>\n Madness for Team India in Australia 1,75,000 tickets sold, craze for Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma<\/p>\n \u201cI have a good equation with both Virat and Rohit bhai. I always take their advice, and they are never hesitant when it comes to giving their take,\u201d he added.Gill acknowledged the challenge of following in the footsteps of some of Indian cricket\u2019s greatest leaders \u2014 MS Dhoni, Kohli, and Rohit \u2014 all of whom have had remarkable success as captains.\u201cFirst Mahi bhai, then Virat bhai, and now we\u2019ll carry forward the legacy that Rohit bhai has built. There\u2019s so much experience there. I\u2019ve spoken with both Virat bhai and Rohit bhai about how to take this team forward, what kind of culture we want to maintain, and their experience will be extremely valuable for us,\u201d he said.The young captain has often cited both legends as major inspirations. When the team left for Australia, Rohit was seen hugging Gill, while a video also captured Kohli patting him on the back, reflecting their support and camaraderie.Both Rohit and Kohli are making their international return for the first time since India\u2019s Champions Trophy 2025 win and will now play under Gill\u2019s leadership.\u201cWhen I was a kid, I used to idolise both Virat Kohli<\/a> and Rohit Sharma. The kind of game and skills they displayed and the hunger they had were truly inspiring. It\u2019s a big honour for me to be able to lead such legends of the game and learn from them. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are among the best white-ball cricketers in the world. The experience and skill they bring are extremely important for the team and make a huge difference,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As India prepare to begin a new chapter in ODIs under Shubman Gill, the young captain spoke about…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":209289,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,34397,34396,18856,7054,101,56,54,55,15624],"class_list":{"0":"post-209288","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-cricket","9":"tag-ind-vs-aus","10":"tag-india-vs-australia","11":"tag-rohit-sharma","12":"tag-shubman-gill","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom","16":"tag-unitedkingdom","17":"tag-virat-kohli"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209288","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=209288"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209288\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/209289"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=209288"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=209288"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=209288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
