Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, India ended the 11-year ICC drought and won the T20 World Cup 2024 title. Rohit Sharma’s captaincy is being discussed a lot in the cricket world. Former Indian coach Ravi Shastri is also praising Rohit fiercely. Ravi Shastri has described Rohit Sharma as an all-time great and said that his captaincy is as special as the great Indian captain MS Dhoni.

When it comes to strategy in white ball cricket, both are equal- Ravi Shastri

Ravi Shastri says that both Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni have displayed tactical skills, which is why both are great captains. Speaking on the new episode of ICC Review, Shastri said,

As a tactician, we should not forget that he has been an outstanding person. He will go down as one of the best captains of all time along with Dhoni. If you ask me who is better, I would say both are equal when it comes to tactics in white-ball games. I cannot give Rohit a bigger compliment than this because you know what MS has done and what titles he has won.

Ravi Shastri further praised Rohit Sharma’s achievements as a batsman. Hitman has scored 14,846 runs for India in white ball cricket, which includes 3 double centuries, 33 centuries and 87 half-centuries.

He is a legend in the white-ball game. One of the all-time greats, he would be a part of any white-ball team, regardless of the era. His dynamic ability alone puts him at the top.
