India’s ODI captain Shubman Gill is set to lead the team in the upcoming three-match ODI series against New Zealand, marking his return after a two-month injury layoff caused by a neck problem suffered during the South Africa Test series. Gill, 26, who has played only three T20Is recently, said the series is crucial for preparing for the 2027 50-over World Cup and to assess player roles. He also highlighted the value of veterans Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the squad. Despite being omitted from the T20 World Cup squad, Gill remains committed to his leadership role. (PC: Reuters)
