In a candid statement, Rohit acknowledged the significance of this role and the fact that some of his former teammates, such as Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, and Yuvraj Singh, never had the chance to captain the national side.
Rohit’s rise to captaincy has been a remarkable journey. He made his debut for the Indian cricket team in 2007 and soon became a vital part of the squad. However, it wasn’t until 2017 that he was entrusted with the responsibility of leading the Indian cricket team in limited-overs formats. His calm and composed demeanor on the field, combined with his strategic acumen, made him an ideal choice for captaincy.
In his statement, Rohit Sharma displayed humility and a deep sense of respect for his predecessors who were never given the opportunity to captain India. Gautam Gambhir, a pivotal figure in India’s World Cup wins in 2007 and 2011, was known for his gritty performances but never captained the national side. Virender Sehwag, the swashbuckling opener famous for his aggressive batting style, and Yuvraj Singh, the hero of the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 World Cup, also never held the captain’s armband.
