Yuvraj Singh Evaluates Rohit Sharma’s Captivity, and His Remarks Are Worth Their Weight in Gold

Earlier this year, Rohit Sharma took over as India’s captain across all formats. However, he had been leading the white-ball teams on and off for a few years, filling in for former leader Virat Kohli from time to time. Sharma took over as India’s captain across all formats earlier in this year. After winning many titles in the Indian Premier League for the Mumbai Indians, Rohit’s reputation as a capable captain was always strong. Since taking over as India’s full-time captain in the shortest format during the previous year, Rohit’s biggest test was the Twenty20 World Cup, which was held in Australia, and the side concluded its campaign in the semi-finals of the tournament. The One-Day International World Cup will be held in India in 2019, and preparations have already begun with a series in Bangladesh. This will be the next major test for Rohit. Following a lacklustre effort both with the bat and in the field, India was eliminated from the series after the first match. As is customary, a number of supporters and commentators pointed the finger of blame at Rohit’s captaincy for the loss. The sports website Sportskeeda created a poll on Twitter in which they asked users to judge Rohit Sharma’s performance as captain. One of the comments stood out above the rest and drew everyone’s attention. It came from Yuvraj Singh, a legendary Indian cricket player who had been Rohit’s teammate in the past. In the comment, all he did was write “10 out of 10.”

When it comes to leading the national team, Rohit has a good record and a high victory rate, which is why Yuvraj Singh has endorsed him. This recommendation is not without foundation.

Since MS Dhoni stepped down as captain of India, the team’s inability to win ICC titles has been the most significant challenge, and Rohit would have this as one of his goals.

Even though Virat Kohli had a very high success rate across all formats of the game, his ICC captaincy was not able to achieve the level of success that it deserved because they did not win any trophies.
