Let New Boys Earn The Chance Of Being India’s Captain In Future: Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma: Regular India captain Rohit Sharma, who stood himself down from the ongoing Sydney Test due to his poor form, said the new boys in the team have to work hard and earn the chance of taking up the leadership role in future.
Rohit stood himself down from playing the Sydney Test after making just 3, 6, 10, 3 and 9 in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy series. In his absence, Jasprit Bumrah has been captaining India in Sydney, but in worrying signs for the visitors’, he left the field during second session of day two’s play and was seen going to hospital for scans with members of the support staff.
“It is very difficult to say that. There are many boys, but I want them to understand the importance of cricket first and also understand the importance of this place. They are new boys, and I know they should be given responsibility. But let them earn it. Let them play some hard-fought cricket for the next few years or whatever it is. Let them earn it.”
