Rohit Sharma has an excellent captaincy record in IPL and is the reason behind the victory of 5 IPL titles of Mumbai Indians. Sharma is now all set to make the standards of the team as much higher as he can in the test cricket itself.
An excellent captain: Rohit Sharma
After some of the defeats of team India during some of the International tournaments, the reports were claiming that Virat will step down as captain and Rohit will lead the team becomes true. Despite being an excellent player Virat somehow has fewer skills than Rohit Sharma when it came in the terms of captaincy.
Back to the days when Rohit is struggling to get a chance in test cricket is now will lead the team in test cricket. It is somehow his performance and his skills which made the team management give the charge of the team in the hands of Rohit Sharma.
