Ex-Indian cricket player and Star Cast member Sanjay Bangar gave an exclusive interview before of India’s last league stage match against the Netherlands in Bengaluru. He spoke on the captain’s USP, Rohit Sharma. Regarding Rohit Sharma unique selling point as a captain, Sanjay Bangar said exclusively to the Star Sports program “Follow the Blues”: “I think his USP is that he’s backed the players who were injured and low on confidence.” As Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, and Jasprit Bumrah recovered from their injuries, they were given the assurance that they were a valuable member of the squad, that the group had faith in their skills, and that they would be given chances. Any captain who says this knows that for a player, it comes first. When Saurav Ganguly recognized Ashish Nehra, Virender Sehwag, Zaheer Khan, and Harbhajan Singh, he took a same action. Thus, Rohit Sharma’s impact as a captain is quite remarkable.
