‘Rohit Sharma probably needs to just refresh’: Graeme Smith.

India’s cricket captain across all formats, Rohit Sharma, has faced criticism following his team’s disappointing loss to Australia in the World Test Championship Final. Nevertheless, the influential Indian opener has found support from former South African skipper and cricket legend, Graeme Smith.

Rohit Sharma’s performance with the bat has experienced a noticeable decline in the past year, particularly evident in his consecutive underwhelming seasons in the Indian Premier League as the captain of the Mumbai Indians. However, it is his lack of runs for the Indian national team that is now causing concern for the team management.

Graeme Smith said “One of the biggest challenges of being a captain is your own personal performance. The pressure of a leader never goes away. Rohit probably needs to just refresh. His own form hasn’t been probably at a level consistently. He is having a bit of a rough patch, and often that personal performance can just settle things down a little bit.No one is criticizing his captaincy or leadership style. It’s just obviously on the personal performance side, if he can get some really good scores behind him, it takes a lot of that pressure away,”
