Team India Captain, Rohit Sharma: Now a new chapter is being written in Indian cricket. Virat Kohli, who captained Team India for a long time, has now lost command of all three formats. Even before the T20 World Cup, Virat Kohli had spoken about leaving the captaincy of the shortest format of cricket, but after that, the captaincy of the remaining two formats also went out of his hands. Team India is now ready with a new captain. The era of Indian cricketer Rohit Sharma is beginning.
One year and two World Cups...
When Rohit Sharma was made the captain of the T20 and ODI team, he got injured soon after. In such a situation, the series against West Indies to be held in February will in a way be the beginning of his full-fledged captaincy career. After this, the challenge in front of Rohit Sharma is the challenge, because, in the next year, Team India has to play not one but two World Cups.
The T20 World Cup will be played in Australia at the end of the year 2022, whose schedule has been released. Whereas in February March 2023, Team India will be playing the ODI World Cup in its own home. In such a situation, the challenges in front of the new captain returning from injury will not reduce. Because the Test team was completely reshuffled during the tenure of Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri, but seeing the current situation, it seems that the Indian team needs similar changes in ODI and T20 formats.
will have to prepare a whole new team?
Even though Rohit Sharma was not involved in the three-match ODI series against South Africa, he must have been eyeing it. The Indian team has been exposed in different areas here, which gives an indication that the team is not fully prepared for the World Cup in white-ball cricket.
Talking about the bowling unit, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ravichandran Ashwin no longer has that edge to put pressure on the team in front. The Jasprit Bumrah-led bowling attack needs to gain more momentum, so which bowlers are trusted in the next year will also be monitored.
Because young players like Mohammad Siraj, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar are ready to come in the team. So, an experienced bowler like Mohammed Shami can once again be given preference in the white-ball format. At the same time, in the spin department, the Indian team once again seems to be going towards Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav but Rohit Sharma himself has worked with Rahul Chahar in Mumbai Indians, so he can be a part of a long plan.
At the same time, the biggest challenge for Team India in the batting unit is in the middle order, because you have options like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul in the top. But if the Shikhar Dhawan-Rohit Sharma pair is to be trusted again, then KL Rahul will have to carry the burden of the middle order on his shoulders. There, along with young players like Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul's restraint will be able to work.
will bring storm in the team?
Under the leadership of Virat Kohli, the Indian team has always tried to play aggressive cricket, it has also yielded many excellent results. But Team India always stayed away from the ICC trophy. Rohit Sharma has mentioned many times that it is not necessary to score his own runs, that trophy is very important. In such a situation, when the Nizam is new, then the style of the team will also be completely different.
While taking over the captaincy, Rohit Sharma said that he wants to prepare this team in such a way that even if we lose three wickets for 10 runs, then the team can recover from there. Even then, someone should be ready for a fight. Rohit Sharma has surprised everyone with his decisions many times during the captaincy of Mumbai Indians, many times his decisions have proved to be all.
During the era of Virat Kohli, many times things of ruckus have come to the fore in the dressing room. The controversy surrounding the captaincy for the last 5-6 months is still fresh. In such a situation, a challenge in front of Rohit Sharma apart from the cricket field will also be to refresh the atmosphere of the dressing room.
