Sourav Ganguly backs Rohit Sharma to lead India across formats despite World Cup 2023 loss.

Rohit Sharma, a veteran in the Indian cricketing arena, has consistently showcased exceptional skills, leaving an indelible mark on the team’s performance across various formats. Widely acknowledged as one of the most reliable players for India, Rohit’s influence extends beyond his prolific batting, encompassing his role as a captain.

Over the years, the 36-year-old batter has amassed runs with remarkable consistency, becoming a stalwart in the Indian lineup. His leadership acumen came to the forefront during the ODI World Cup in 2023, where Rohit led the Men in Blue to the summit clash, showcasing his ability to guide the team through high-pressure situations.

As cricket enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the T20 World Cup in 2024, speculations have arisen regarding Rohit Sharma continuing in his role as the team’s captain for the upcoming tournament. Reports suggest that the seasoned cricketer is set to lead the side, a testament to the confidence placed in his leadership skills.

Adding weight to this speculation, former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly has voiced his opinion, suggesting that Rohit Sharma should assume the captaincy across formats.

Ganguly said “Once Rohit is back playing all formats, he should be the captain of India because he has done so well in the World Cup and he is a leader, so I expect and presume that he will continue as captain till the T20 World Cup.”
