IND vs AUS 1st ODI: The transition in Indian cricket has always been controversial. It's a great responsibility to lead a national team from the front. It doesn't matter how strong you are mentally; everything changes when you either become or are removed as skipper.

Nothing of this sort has happened till now with India's new ODI skipper, Shubman Gill, and Rohit Sharma. Both have shared a cordial relationship in front of the camera, and it looked like they were best friends off the field as well, where they were seen sharing popcorn in India's dressing room and were also seen laughing.

This happened in one of the rain breaks of the series opener. A video of the incident had gone viral on social media.

‘No such thing’: Gill on talks of discomfort with Rohit

Ahead of this series, Gill talked about the transition in captaincy

“Whatever the narrative might be outside, there has been no such thing between us. It is just like old times. He is very helpful, and he always shares his experiences. I have been asking him for his suggestions. I asked him, ‘What would you have done on this wicket if you were the captain?’ I like to pick the brains of other players," he told reporters in the pre-match press conference.

“I have a good equation with both Virat and Rohit bhai. I always take their advice, and they are never hesitant when it comes to giving their take," he added. “First, Mahi (MS Dhoni) bhai, then Virat bhai, and now we’ll carry forward the legacy that Rohit bhai has built. There’s so much experience there. I’ve spoken with both Virat bhai and Rohit bhai about how to take this team forward, what kind of culture we want to maintain, and their experience will be extremely valuable for us," he added.
