The dismissal of Rohit Sharma as the ODI skipper prior to the series against Australia, according to former Indian cricket team batsman Manoj Tiwary, was a “clear sign of disrespect.” The new captain of India is Shubman Gill, while the vice-captain is Shreyas Iyer. Rohit was added to the Australia ODI squad, and it is anticipated that he would play in his first national team game since the Champions Trophy final. Tiwary recently criticized the selection committee for the choice, saying it feels disrespectful to the player and his accomplishments as captain of the Indian cricket team.

It is evidently quite difficult to determine the primary cause of this at this time. What has transpired, however, is very regrettable. Considering what Rohit Sharma has done for Team India and Indian cricket, I think it’s blatant disrespect. When you look at it that way, he feels insulted. He has been an enormous asset to the team. Removing the captaincy—I genuinely don’t see any justification for it. What do you expect from a captain when you name him? Results are what you expect. Additionally, he has produced those outcomes,” Tiwary told CricTracker.

Tiwary referred to the entire incident as “unfortunate” and even said that head coach Gautam Gambhir might have had anything to do with Rohit Sharma’s replacement as ODI captain by Shubman Gill.
