Captaincy is a completely different thing – Irfan Pathan

Irfan Pathan says that captaincy is a difficult job, a person like MS Dhoni made it very easy. Virat Kohli is the best captain in test cricket. In recent times, in white ball cricket, you cannot look beyond Rohit Sharma, he is the best leader.

Irfan Pathan while talking on Star Sports said, ‘We always talk about players, but captaincy is a completely different thing. We saw what happened to many captains in this IPL; It is not easy. Captaining a team in cricket still holds a lot of importance and that is why we always talk a lot about Mahendra Singh Dhoni. The whole world has given him high status because it is such a difficult job and he has made it very simple.

Irfan Pathan further said, ‘After Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Virat was your best captain till date in Tests, the way he took the team forward. But when it comes to recent white-ball cricket, you can look no further than Rohit Sharma. Even considering the bench strength, he is your best leader.

According to Irfan Pathan, these players can captain India in future

Irfan Pathan also put forward his views about who can captain the Indian team in the future. They said, ‘In terms of captaincy in the future, his eyes will be on Suryakumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah. Now we have Hardik Pandya as the vice-captain, and also Rishabh Pant. So, three or four people are ready, but Rohit is number one.
