Mumbai: Captain Rohit Sharma speaks openly about the players who are considered to be the future captains of the Indian cricket team.

Rohit said that although they are future leaders, they are not given any advice or suggestions on their own and they have the maturity to make decisions in their own way. You do not have the permission required to post. They have the maturity to understand and do that. You just have to be more discriminating with the help you render toward other people. I’m happy to do that. That’s how we grew up. Many of us were raised like this. It’s a natural thing to do.

In the case of Rahul, Pant or Bumrah, they have a big role to play in India’s victories. They are what team management sees as future leaders. Therefore, they may recognize that responsibility. But he did not put too much pressure on them for that. Because their performance is very crucial for the team. Let them enjoy their game, ”said Rohit.
When the squad for the Test series against Sri Lanka was announced last week, the chairman of the selection committee made it clear that Rohit had the responsibility of developing the youngsters to the position of captain. This was after Rohit was announced as the captain of the Test team.
After the T20 World Cup, Rohit replaced Virat Kohli, who vacated the T20 captaincy, and later took over the captaincy of the ODI team. Rohit, who missed the Test series against South Africa due to injury, resigned as captain of the Test team after the defeat in the Test series. In the absence of Kohli, KL Rahul led India in the second match of the Test series against South Africa.
The T20 series against Sri Lanka starts on Thursday. There are three matches in the series. India, who have swept the T20 series against New Zealand and the West Indies, are hoping for a third consecutive series win under Rohit. Rohit will captain the Test team in the next Test series. There are two matches in the series.
