What's Happening

- Gautam Gambhir is described as more authoritative in Tests and T20Is than in the ODI setup so far.
- India's Afghanistan ODI series begins the formal 50-over preparation cycle for the next World Cup.
The Transition Problem
- Kohli and Rohit have retired from T20Is, making ODIs their remaining white-ball route to another global title.
