Indian captain Rohit Sharma has admitted many times that he has learned captaincy from former Indian captain MS Dhoni, and his style of captaincy is also similar to him. It is noteworthy that Rohit started commanding the Indian team from the year 2018, when under his captaincy the Indian team won the Asia Cup that year.

The then captain Virat Kohli had decided to withdraw from the tournament due to workload and back injury. After this, the Indian management declared Rohit Sharma as the stand-in captain of Team India in the tournament.

Under the captaincy of Rohit, Team India performed brilliantly, and in the final of the 2018 Asia Cup, India won the title for the record 7th time by winning against Bangladesh by 3 wickets in Dubai. Shikhar Dhawan (342) and Rohit Sharma (317) were the top scorers in batting, while in bowling, Kuldeep Yadav (10 wickets) and Jasprit Bumrah (8 wickets) took command.

When Rohit said his style of captaincy is like Dhoni

After the Asia Cup win, Rohit received a lot of praise from the cricket world for remaining calm on the field like MS Dhoni. After winning the tournament, Rohit had said- Look, we always learn from MS Dhoni, because he has been a very good captain. Whenever we faced any problem or question on the field, he was always there with the answer.

What I have seen while captaining the team for so many years is that he never panics, takes a few seconds before taking a decision, thinks about it and then takes the decision. So, I have that similarity in my captaincy, and I think I have that too. I also try to think and then react.
