Who should be the ODI captain of Team India after Rohit Sharma? Listen what to say Ambati Rayudu

Rohit Sharma has turned 38 and has taken retirement from Test and T20 International. At present, he is the captain of the Indian ODI team, but due to increasing age, it may be that he will soon announce his retirement from this format. This is the reason why the question in the minds of Indian fans is that after the hitman, who should be the next ODI Captain of Team India? If you also want to know the answer to this question, then let us know that former India cricketer Ambati Rayudu himself has responded to this.

Yes, this has happened. In fact, Ambati Rayudu recently appeared in journalist Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast where he answers a question in the Rapid Fire Round and who should be the next ODI Captain of Team India after Rohit? Answer this. Here he described Shreyas Iyer as his choice and after Rohit advocated to make him ODI Captain.

He said, “I think Shreyas Iyer. He is quite calm, he made KKR the champion and after that the way he leads Punjab Kings, Malatab does not give him any chance to him. He is a great captain and he should also become the captain of India very soon.”

Significantly, 30 -year -old Shreyas Iyer has 14 Tests, 70 ODIs and 51 T20 Internationals for India. Currently, despite his great form, he is out of Test and T20 squad, but despite this he has strengthened his hold in the ODI team.

It holds an average of 48.22 in the right -handed batsman ODI format with 5 centuries in 70 matches and 2,875 runs in 65 innings with 5 centuries and 22 half -century. Also know that Shreyas was also part of Team India recently in the Champion Trophy 2025 tournament where he scored the highest 243 runs for India at an average of 48.60 in 5 matches.

Apart from this, Shreyas was also a part of the ODI World 2023 team, where he also performed amazing. This is the reason that Ambati Rayudu also considers Shreyas worthy to be the captain of Team India and is seen advocating him.
