London,

The England cricket team, which is touring India, is playing a 5-match Test series. In the first Test between these two teams, England beat India by 28 runs and started the series with victory. In this match, the Indian team took the lead in the first innings. But chasing England’s target of 231 runs in the 2nd innings, India displayed poor batting and were bowled out for 202 runs.

Criticisms on Indian team captain Rohit Sharma are starting to increase in this match. As England stumbled early in the second innings, Ollie Pope single-handedly took the team to a formidable target. But the Indian team players failed to stop Ollie Pope. Moreover, they missed his catches. Allegations are being made that the reason for this is that Rohit Sharma is not performing properly as a captain.

Speaking about Rohit Sharma’s captaincy, former England captain Michael Vaughan said, “Indian Test team has lost the captaincy of Virat Kohli. If Virat Kohli had acted as the captain of the team in this match, the Indian team would not have faced defeat. There is no doubt that Rohit Sharma is a great player. But I feel that he is inactive now. ” he said.

And I think Rohit Sharma’s captaincy has been very average. “I don’t know if he was planning the right things on the field or being proactive with the bowling changes,” Michael Vaughan said.
