Talking to Cricbuzz Bhattacharjya, he thinks that Rohit’s captaincy in the ‘T20 World Cup may have hampered the team’. According to him, the Indian captain’s presence in the tournament will hinder the chances of better-performing players.
“The decision to appoint Rohit Sharma as India’s captain for the T20 World Cup may have hampered the team. At this point, Sharma is not the ideal choice to lead the team in the T20I format, Bhattacharjya said.”
“I have the utmost respect for Rohit Sharma, and I think he is an amazing cricketer. However, he is currently out of batting form. Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Shubman Gill are in better form right now and are strong contenders for the opening positions. However, since Sharma is the captain, he will open, meaning one of those in-form players will have to bat lower down the order,” he added.
Bhattacharjya also has a suggestion for who the captain should be at the World Cup. He chose Rohit’s MI colleague, Jasprit Bumrah, for the job.
“I would choose Jasprit Bumrah over Rohit Sharma as captain because Bumrah’s skill as a bowler makes him a vital member of the team,” he said.
Bhattacharjya also pointed out a hole in Rohit’s career.
“Rohit has achieved everything in cricket, but there’s one thing he needs to do: win a World Cup. He won the T20 World Cup in 2007 and wants to end his career on a high note; we call it book-ending. That’s a great thought,” he concluded.
