5 Instances When Rohit Sharma Did Not Walk The Talk As Indian Captain

Rohit Sharma leads Team India in Tests, ODIs, and T20Is. So far, he has led the team for one-and-a-half years in many bilateral series and a few multi-nation tournaments. Rohit Sharma was promoted as India skipper in the aftermatch of Virat Kohli stepping down as captain.

However, being an Indian captain is not an easy task. During his short stint as Indian captain till now, Rohit Sharma has faced many criticisms for his ineffective leadership in key events. He also forwarded some wrong actions and words which did not suit a national skipper. Here we talk about 5 instances when Rohit Sharma did not walk the talk as Indian captain.

When India used spin-friendly dry pitches against Australia in the 2023 Test series which were also touted as poor by ICC, Rohit Sharma supported the team’s decision. The Indian skipper said that other teams used pitch conditions in their favour and India can also use this strategy.

However, many cricket experts and former players reckoned that teams should not indulge too much in pitch and wicket formation for home games. As a skipper, Sharma should have taken a neutral opinion on the matter. As a captain of a cricket giant like India, he should have stayed away from making such controversial statements on camera.
