Rohit Sharma was recently replaced by Shubman Gill as India\u2019s ODI captain. <\/a>The former skipper has now credited ex-head coach Rahul Dravid for laying the foundation that led to India\u2019s ICC Champions Trophy 2025 triumph. While the victory came under current coach Gautam Gambhir, Rohit believes it was Dravid\u2019s groundwork that helped the team secure back-to-back ICC titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rohit Sharma team endured heartbreak in the 2023 ODI World Cup, losing the final to Australia despite an unbeaten run in the league stage. However, India made a strong comeback by clinching the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that win, Dravid\u2019s tenure ended, and Gambhir took over as head coach. Under his leadership, India lifted the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in March, defeating New Zealand in the final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
