Shubman Gill calls the 2027 ODI World Cup unfinished business
Gill said the 2023 final defeat leaves India with unfinished business ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup.
India captain Shubman Gill described the 2027 ODI World Cup as unfinished business. Gill said the 2023 final loss to Australia left a task he and his teammates want to complete. He noted that players get limited opportunities at World Cups and called every appearance a big honour.
Gill spoke ahead of the third ODI against the West Indies. He said his focus remains on contributing to team victories rather than personal milestones. The captain added that rankings mattered more when he was younger but now he prioritises match-winning performances.
Gill said the captaincy role is a responsibility he accepts without feeling undue pressure. He credited guidance from senior players including Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. India begins its 2027 campaign against Australia on October 7 in Cape Town.
