Indian team captain Rohit Sharma’s performance in international cricket has been very good so far. He has scored many runs for the Indian team so far and has played an important role in the victory of his team. Recently, GeoCinema’s expert Zaheer Khan gave his opinion on Rohit Sharma’s role as a Test batsman and captain. He made this statement in GeoCinema, Sports18’s ‘Insider Preview IndvsEng’ before the Test series between India and England.

Rohit Sharma’s role as a captain?

Zaheer Khan: Everyone knows that Rohit Sharma is very successful as a captain and he keeps talking to all the players continuously. Rohit Sharma gives a lot of confidence to all the players with his words. We saw it in the World Cup also and the hallmark of his captaincy has been that he leads the team from the front.

Rohit Sharma keeps talking continuously. When you have a leader who is constantly talking to you while walking, it increases the confidence of the entire group. So I think he has proved himself as a captain.

Rohit Sharma’s role as an opener?

Zaheer Khan: Ever since Rohit Sharma has played the opening role in Tests, he has scored some brilliant centuries even in difficult conditions. You saw that he batted very well in England also. Even in Chennai, it was seen that he had played such an innings which saved India from losing the match.

Winning the toss and batting first and then completely destroying the opposition in the first innings is a great thing for any player at the highest level. It is going to be a five-match Test series and a lot of things will be going on in his mind not only as a batsman but also as a leader. He has also worked with Rahul Dravid and the selectors also know very well that Rohit Sharma rotates his players very well.

Rohit Sharma is already prepared for whatever challenge he will face during the five-match Test series. He knows the pitches of India very well and must have given tips to all the players by now.
