Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Team India recently won the Test series against England 4-1. Virat Kohli did not play in this series due to personal reasons. This is the first time that Virat Kohli has been out of a Test series. After winning the Dharamsala Test match, Rohit Sharma told in the press conference how this series has made him a different captain and from this series he has learned how to use the players properly. Now the former cricketer revealed how Rohit Sharma's captaincy is different from Virat Kohli's.
How different is Rohit from Virat Kohli?
Former England captain Nasir Hussain said that Rohit Sharma is different from former Team India captain Virat Kohli. Team India did not get the advice of Virat Kohli in the Test series against England but Rohit Sharma used the players very well in the series. Even though Team India lost the ICC World Cup 2023 under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Team India won 5 consecutive series under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma.
He further said that Rohit Sharma sometimes seems to be a very quiet player but he has a lot of skill and talent in batting. Sometimes you don't get things right. But Rohit himself has said that he has learned a lot in this series. The way Rohit bowled to Ashwin with the new ball was very good. I think Rohit Sharma's captaincy is no less than Virat Kohli's, while Virat was aggressive, Rohit remained calm and did his job well.
Rohit scored 2 centuries in the series
Rohit Sharma had to struggle a bit with the bat in the beginning of the series. But later Rohit batted well and also scored two brilliant centuries in this series. In this series, England had made a good start by winning the first match but later Team India made a great comeback and won the remaining four matches of the series and won the series 4-1. In this series, Team India broke the pride of England's baseball cricket.
