With Shubman Gill, now the all-format leader, explore the official ODI and T20 squad and players list for the 2025 India vs Australia series.

Call it a surprise, a shocker, or simply a transition, Team India has officially bid farewell to Rohit Sharma’s white-ball captaincy, marking the end of a remarkable leadership era. Rohit Sharma’s tenure as captain has been nothing short of historic. He became only the second Indian captain, after MS Dhoni, to win two ICC trophies, cementing his legacy as one of Team India’s most successful white-ball leaders.

But as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. Rohit’s departure signals a major shift in Indian cricket, paving the way for a new leadership structure and fresh strategic direction ahead of IPL 2026, the T20 World Cup, and the ODI World Cup 2027. This transition will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike, as Team India enters a new phase with high expectations and evolving dynamics.

Shubman Gill, now widely regarded as the poster boy of Indian cricket, has stepped into a leadership role across all three formats. He currently captains the Test and ODI teams, while the T20I side continues to be led by Suryakumar Yadav, with Gill serving as vice-captain. This marks a significant transition in Indian cricket – one that typically occurs only once in a decade. It’s not just a change in captaincy, but a generational shift in mindset, energy, and long-term vision.

Gill’s elevation is also a welcome move, considering his consistency and stature as one of the finest batters in world cricket today. Shubman Gill is set to begin his captaincy journey with the high-stakes Australia tour, featuring 3 ODIs and 5 T20Is. This marks a pivotal moment in Indian cricket, as Gill takes charge of the ODI squad while continuing as vice-captain in T20Is under Suryakumar Yadav.

Talking about the squad changes, the most significant change in India’s ODI squad for the Australia series is the appointment of Shubman Gill as captain, marking a new leadership era in white-ball cricket. Gill, currently ranked as the world’s No. 1 ODI batter, replaces Rohit Sharma, who led India through a successful phase. With Gill at the helm, the vice-captaincy has been handed to Shreyas Iyer, who has consistently impressed with his performances in the ODI format. This leadership duo signals a fresh direction for Team India as they prepare for the high-stakes tour Down Under.

Team India will be without two of its first-choice stars – Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant, for the upcoming Australia series, as both continue to recover from injuries. Their absence opens the door for fresh talent, with Dhruv Jurel and Nitish Kumar Reddy added as potential replacements. In addition to these injury-driven changes, the squad sees two strategic rotations: Jasprit Bumrah and Varun Chakravarthy have been rested to manage workload. Their spots have been filled by Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna, both of whom bring pace and aggression to the bowling unit.

The T20I squad for India’s Australia tour remains largely unchanged from the 2025 Asia Cup lineup, reflecting continuity and trust in the existing core. However, two minor but strategic changes have been made. With Hardik Pandya ruled out due to injury, Nitish Kumar Reddy steps in as a like-for-like seam-bowling all-rounder. Additionally, Washington Sundar has been added as the 16th member of the squad – likely a move aimed at grooming him for future roles, given his versatility with both bat and ball.
