India's new ODI captain gears up for his first game in charge of a team that includes Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma

Shubman Gill's captaincy debut in the ODIs started with a seven-wicket defeat to Australia in the first match of the series.

India lost Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill inside the first nine overs and the skipper said that the side were never really able to recover from that.

Team India skipper Shubman Gill kick-started his reign as ODI skipper with a tame seven-wicket loss to Australia in the series opener at the Optus Stadium in Perth on Sunday, October 19.

India's captain Shubman Gill acknowledged the difficulty of losing three wickets in the powerplay after their seven-wicket loss to Australia in the first ODI. Despite the early setbacks, Gill was satisfied with how the team took the game deep while defending their total.

Arshdeep Singh reflected on how both Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma are as captains, suggesting that both are leaders who give total freedom to their bowlers to execute their plans.

Former Team India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar hilariously advised Shubman Gill not to give Rohit Sharma popcorn when the players were on a rain-induced break during the first ODI against Australia in Perth.
