What challenges does India's ODI setup face ahead of 2027 World Cup?

India's ODI team has lost a series and put captain Shubman Gill and coach Gautam Gambhir under immediate scrutiny. Both need to diagnose what's broken in team culture and execution before the next World Cup cycle truly begins.

Gill's still scoring — he hit his 11th Test century against Afghanistan — but those wins are masking something. The ODI results have exposed gaps that can't wait. The 2027 World Cup is closer than it feels. There's barely time to reset selection, fix match preparation, and bed in new patterns without stumbling into another major tournament unprepared.
