Ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy, Rohit Sharma’s form and his captaincy were put under the scanner. But then, the Hitman came out with all guns blazing as the India Cricket Team lifted the silverware. Now former Team India star Virender Sehwag has praised Rohit Sharma for his brilliant captaincy.
It has been under Rohit Sharma‘s leadership that the Men in Blue have lifted two ICC Trophies within a span of 9 months. Previously, India lifted the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 by beating South Africa at Barbados. Rohit became India’s only second captain having won the T20 World Cup and the Champions Trophy.
Virender Sehwag lavishes praises for Rohit Sharma
“We underrate his captaincy, but after these two trophies, he became the second (Indian) captain after MS Dhoni to win multiple ICC titles. The way the captain has used his bowlers, the way he has handled the team, the way he has guided the team, and whatever communication he does, he does it very clearly. Whether it’s playing Harshit Rana first ahead of Arshdeep Singh or then bringing in Varun Chakravarty in place of Harshit Rana, he has done good communication with his players, and that was important. That’s why Rohit Sharma is a better captain,” Sehwag said on Cricbuzz.
Virender Sehwag spoke about the team and the man management of Rohit Sharma. He pointed out that Rohit thinks less about himself and more about his players. He praised Rohit for doing a brilliant job.
“He thinks less about himself, more about his team, his teammates. He makes them comfortable. He realises that if a player has insecurity, then his performance will not come. That’s why he doesn’t let anyone feel insecure in that team. He takes everyone with him. This is the need for a better captain and leader. And Rohit Sharma is doing it very well,” Sehwag concluded.
