India’s T20I captaincy has been a subject of debate, with former Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) team director Joy Bhattacharjya expressing concerns about Rohit Sharma’s suitability for the role.
Bhattacharjya believes that Rohit’s current form and the team’s performance under his leadership have raised questions about his effectiveness as captain. He argues that Rohit’s appointment has hindered the team’s progress, forcing them to accommodate him as an opener despite the presence of in-form players like Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Shubman Gill.
Bhattacharjya suggests that Jasprit Bumrah would be a more suitable captain, citing his exceptional bowling skills and importance to the team. He also speculates that Rohit’s appointment may have been influenced by his desire to end his career on a high note by winning the T20 World Cup, a tournament he won in 2007.
Bhattacharjya’s comments have sparked a discussion about the future of India’s T20I captaincy. With the World Cup approaching, the BCCI will need to carefully consider the team’s performance and the suitability of Rohit Sharma as captain.
