Gautam Gambhir also feels that Kohli as captain is losing his enthusiasm. “I can’t understand Kohli’s captaincy, to be honest. If you stop your top fast bowler just throwing two overs up front with the news, I can’t understand that kind of captaincy. You probably can’t even explain that captaincy. It is not T20 cricket. I probably can’t understand the reason to be honest because it was a bad captaincy, ”he told Cricinfo.
The captaincy debate –Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma: Is it time for Rohit Sharma India to be the captain of White-Ball?
“I have talked a lot about Rohit as a captain for a day. I think he is the best in India as a captain in white ball cricket. Watch cue ball cricket faster. I think it reacts better ”, former England captain Michael Vaughan told Cricbuzz.
“Virat is not a bad captain, but the discussion here is, who is a better captain and that is Rohit Sharma! And not just better, the difference between them is huge, ”Gambhir recently said on the Star Sports Cricket Connected show.
Not only is Rohit’s record for limited opportunities to be the captain of India brilliant as well, and experts feel he will be able to replace him to take on Kohli’s mettle.
Rohit Sharma as Captain of India
ODI – 10 games – 8 won and only 2 lost
T20 – 19 Matches – 14 Won Lost only 5
“When we choose the players for the Indian team based on their performance in the IPL, why can’t we choose the IPL captains as the captain of the Indian Team? In my opinion, Rohit Sharma should be the captain of India with the white ball ”, Gambhir recently testified.
“Virat has managed the team extremely well over the last few years, with a very high success rate across all formats. Having said that, Rohit also has a good record in the limited opportunities he had to lead the team, the new selectors have to see how they have to shape the team for the future ”, Prasad said.
Without a doubt, the debate over the captaincy of India in the white ball is heating up. After ODI, if Virat Kohli and the India team falter again in the T20 series, Rohit’s voices as India’s next white ball captain will grow even more.
