“When it comes to big tournaments, you switch on in a different manner”,Ravi Shastri on Rohit Sharma captaincy in big tournaments.

Former Indian national team coach, Ravi Shastri, has conveyed his belief in Rohit Sharma’s leadership abilities in anticipation of the forthcoming Asia Cup 2023 and ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Shastri expressed his view that due to Sharma’s extensive experience, he is poised to elevate his performance during these prestigious tournaments.

Additionally, Shastri recommended that the captain should guarantee the adaptability of the Indian batsmen in terms of their batting positions within the lineup.

“I think he is a seasoned captain. Come the World Cup, he will up the ante. Bilaterals are one thing. When it comes to big tournaments, you switch on in a different manner. He knows the nucleus of the players. It is about him ensuring that everyone in that batting lineup knows that they don’t own batting positions.

“You’ve got to be flexible with your batting ladder. No matter who the name of the player is. You do not own positions. You got to have flexibility. That is paramount, and use the right guys against the right oppositions.”
