Rohit Sharma has been named the ODI Captain in place of Virat Kohli. Earlier, Rohit Sharma was handed over the T20 captaincy after Virat decided to step down due to workload management. A lot of fans & experts were speculating Rohit to become the ODI captain for the past few days. Sharma will now completely lead India in the limited-overs format.

In the test format, Rohit has been assigned a new responsibility as well - he has been announced as the vice-captain of the test team as Ajinkya Rahane has been stripped of the post. Virat Kohli will continue leading the Indian test side.
