1) Rohit Sharma the hitman is back – Like us Rohit Sharma is 90s kid and for every kid who grew up in 90s, has a special place for ODI cricket because that used to be the only format that existed at that time. Though Team India has won a T20 World cup last year, winning a 50 over World cup is the ultimate glory in a cricketers life and Rohit Sharma has said that several times.
By removing Rohit Sharma as captain, Rohit Sharma has time to focus solely on his batting and the added pressure of making into the playing 11 only on the basis of performance will do India good as team.
Now Rohit will be feeling like the young 20 old cricketer who played for India in 2007 T20 World Cup, and the desire to get India across the line in the 2027 World Cup will bring the best out of him as a batsman.
2)Virat Kohli – Like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli will also have to deliver consistent performance to be able to be part of playing 11. With Rohit Sharma as captain, he had the added backup as the two have played for long time together, but with a completely different captain and Rohit Sharma in the same boat as Virat Kohli, both will have to bring their best cricket, and that will help Team India in delivering better performances in ODI cricket.

3)Shreyas Iyer as Vice Captain:- Shreyas Iyer is currently the captain of India A playing unofficial ODI against Australia A. While Shubhman Gill has a long tough road ahead of him, India do have a backup in Shreyas Iyer as captain, who has showed his captaincy skills in IPL with Kings 11. This means that Iyer will also be trying to put great performances ahead as he tries to snatch away the captaincy from Shreyas Iyer. Good again for Team India.
Well, only time will tell if Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will feature in 2027 ODI World cup or not, but both would be starting as young blood against 3 match ODI series against Australia starting from 18 October in Perth.
