‘Gill is my captain right now, I have to keep him happy’: Rohit Sharma's witty 2027 World Cup remark

During a television appearance on Family Full House with Rohit Sharma, the veteran opening batter offered a humorous explanation regarding why he maintains good rapport with both Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer. The senior cricketer joked that since Gill leads the side currently and remains key to his aspirations for the upcoming global 50-over tournament, keeping him satisfied is essential, while also maintaining favor with Iyer just in case a return to the shortest international format happens later.

Meanwhile, the squad has travelled to begin a series against New Zealand, following an ODI campaign against the West Indies where the opener contributed 225 runs, including a century and a score of 92.
