Ashwin also emphasized that voters would not reject Rohit or Virat lightly, acknowledging their experience. “I don’t think any voters or coaches will have the heart to say that Virat and Rohit services are no longer needed … you can’t go to the World Cup with many questions,” he said.On the change in Captain Odi, Ashwin supported Shubman Gill’s appointment, explaining his rationale: “Voters may say that if Rohit remains the captain and he is not eligible in 2026, we will not have enough time to sharpen new leaders.
