Dhruv Jurel, the young wicketkeeper-batter who made his India debut under Rohit Sharma’s leadership, has praised the Indian skipper’s approachable and relaxed demeanor. In an interview with Sports Tak, Jurel described Rohit as a “very chill” captain who makes it easy for junior players to feel comfortable in the team.
“To be honest, he is very chill. When you talk to him, it doesn’t feel like he is a senior and you are a junior. He always talks very casually,” Jurel said.
The 23-year-old, who has represented India in three Tests and two T20Is so far, also revealed that Rohit goes out of his way to ensure that young players feel comfortable in the team.
“He always said, ‘If you need any help just come over, I don’t have any problem.’ He makes you feel comfortable. When my name came up for Test cricket, Rohit bhaiya was the captain, so I spoke to him. It felt very good. Like everything is normal,” Jurel added.
Jurel’s comments provide a glimpse into the team environment under Rohit Sharma’s leadership, where the captain’s down-to-earth nature and open communication style seem to be fostering a supportive atmosphere for young talents like him.
Rohit Sharma, who took over the captaincy of the Indian team in all formats in 2021, has been praised for his leadership skills and ability to connect with players. Under his leadership, India has won several major tournaments, including the Asia Cup in 2022 and the inaugural ICC World Test Championship in 2021.
Jurel’s praise for Rohit Sharma is a testament to the Indian skipper’s ability to create a positive and supportive environment for his players. This is essential for the development of young players and the overall success of the team.
