‘I have that too’ When Rohit Sharma admitted that his captaincy style is like Dhoni
Rohit has made India win the T20 World Cup 2024 title under his captaincy. Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) 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.

In such a situation, Tamim Iqbal, who was present in the commentary panel, was expecting a spat between the two on the field. During this, Tamim, who was a part of the panel, said- Tamim Iqbal – Mushfiqur Rahim is batting, Virat Kohli is in the slips. Be careful now, keep an eye on them, they have a lot of history. Ravi Shastri- Which history? Tamim Iqbal: Oh, you know, Ravi. You know what history I am talking about. (laughs) Harsha Bhogle: Ah, okay Tamim. I think Mushfiqur has a little bit of history with everybody.

India played a great style of cricket in the T20 World Cup: Brett Lee
Brett Lee and Team India Former cricketer Brett Lee congratulated the Indian team for their success and said that the Men in Blue played perfect cricket in the mega tournament (T20 World Cup) held in USA and West Indies. Under the able leadership of Rohit Sharma, India became the champion of this tournament without losing in the tournament. Australian fast bowler Brett Lee was very impressed with this record of Team India and he said that India is looking very strong in the World Cup right now. Along with this, he has also praised the captain for leading the team. Let us tell you that after the T20 World Cup, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja have retired from this format. What did Brett Lee say about Team India’s performance in the World Cup- “Many congratulations to India. First of all, I would like to say that I really enjoyed seeing the happiness and the emotion on the faces of all the Indian cricketers. Virat and Rohit have moved beyond the game.” “One thing I would say is that India played the perfect style of cricket in the T20 World Cup. Honestly, they looked like a strong side. Many congratulations to Rohit Sharma and the Indian team. They were playing on the front foot in the tournament.” Who will become the next captain of Team India? The question is why will there be a captain for Team India’s T20 format? It is being speculated that the team’s vice-captain Hardik Pandya may be given the command. But now the name of a new player has come up on whom the BCCI itself is considering. Rohit Sharma was rested after India’s ODI World Cup campaign. Meanwhile, Suryakumar successfully led the national T20 team. The BCCI wants Suryakumar Yadav to remain their captain. Now a BCCI source has given a statement regarding the upcoming captain- “It is a delicate matter. Hardik’s fitness is an issue but he has played a big role in India’s recovery from the ICC crisis. As far as Suryakumar is concerned, we have received feedback from the team that his captaincy style has been well appreciated by the dressing room.”
Why did Divya Gnanananda copy KL Rahul’s celebration style? A big reason came to the fore
An Indian women all-rounder cricketer named Divya Gnanananda is in the news a lot. Divya Gnanananda (Pic Source X) An Indian women’s all-rounder cricketer named Divya Gnanananda is in the news a lot. She is 28 years old and plays for India’s D team and Karnataka women’s cricket team. Divya is a part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore women’s team in the Women’s Premier League. Like most cricketers in India, Divya Gnanananda was inspired to play cricket by watching the great Sachin Tendulkar. Divya made her professional debut at the age of 15. She played with Prasidh Krishna during her school days. Trained by Srinivas Murthy, she has played for Shantha Rangaswamy’s Falcon Sports Club. Divya has been one of the best players for Karnataka in domestic cricket and has been a consistent run-scorer across formats. In the Senior Women’s ODI Trophy last year, she was the seventh-highest run-scorer with 396 runs in 10 innings at an average of 49.50. She scored a half-century (69 off 116 balls) in the tournament final against Railways. However, his innings went in vain and Railways won by 6 wickets. Now Divya Gnanananda has shared the story of KL Rahul’s style celebration after scoring a half-century in the final of the Senior Women’s ODI Trophy last year. Why did Divya Gnanananda copy KL Rahul’s celebration style? “That (shutting down the noise) celebration was special for me because it came after a difficult time. We were playing against the same team at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in the final. I felt the pressure to perform well as it was our home ground and my supporters were there. I started off strongly by hitting two boundaries off Meghna Singh and felt confident. But then I made a mistake and got out.” “From that day till recently, I faced a lot of criticism, especially from my close friends and family. They kept reminding me of that match and doubting my abilities against tough teams and quality bowlers. That made me very upset.” “When I finally got the chance to face them and scored 46, I felt a range of emotions. I was so focused on proving myself that I didn’t even realise I was close to scoring 50. When I scored, I felt like throwing my bat down to show that I won’t listen to negative comments anymore. I wanted to prove that I can score runs against tough teams and even score 50 against strong opponents. So that’s how I celebrated.”
