India, Oct. 4 -- Shubman Gill, India's Test captain, was announced as the captain of the ODI side for the Australia tour on Saturday (September 4), marking a major shift in Indian cricket which began earlier this year when Gill replaced Rohit Sharma as the Test skipper after the latter announced his retirement from red-ball cricket. BCCI's chairman of selectors, Ajit Agarkar, made the announcement in a press conference minutes after India beat West Indies in the first Test in Ahmedabad.

Shreyas Iyer was elevated as the vice-captain of the ODI side. He, however, remained out of the T20I side.

India will play three ODIs in Australia starting October 19 at Perth, followed by a five-match T20I series starting October 29 at Canberra.
