India captain Rohit Sharma made a lighthearted remark about his teammate Shubman Gill, joking that he would do anything to win the ODI World Cup, including arranging a marriage for the young opener. Sharma's comment came during a media interaction ahead of the tournament.

The 36-year-old skipper, who is yet to win an ODI World Cup as captain, emphasized his determination to secure the trophy. Gill, 25, has been a key part of India's batting lineup. Sharma's humorous aside drew laughter from reporters and highlighted the team's relaxed atmosphere despite the high stakes.
