But Harbhajan Singh reckons Rohit instructions respect from his teammates and in addition reminded everybody that cricket is a workforce sport.
“I find that people are going a bit overboard…the way Rohit has been criticised. Cricket is a team sport and one individual cannot take you from one place to other. Team India didn’t do well in WTC final, and yes, you talk about that performance and move on from there. But it is unfair to criticise Rohit alone, that he is not scoring runs, putting on weight, not captaining well. I think he is a brilliant leader,” Harbhajan stated in an interview to PTI.
Rohit Sharma has received the Indian Premier League (IPL) 5 occasions as captain whereas main Mumbai Indians and in accordance with Harbhajan Singh, one wants to indicate religion within the India skipper and his management capability. He can be of the opinion that Rohit ought to get help from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) whereas recalling that even the likes of MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli acquired help from then BCCI Presidents throughout their captaincy tenure. For the unversed, Roger Binny is the present BCCI President, nevertheless, Rohit Sharma was appointed India skipper throughout all codecs when Sourav Ganguly was on the helm of the BCCI.
“I’ve performed with him (Rohit) and watched him carefully. He instructions a whole lot of respect not solely in MI dressing room but additionally within the Indian dressing room. So I feel it is unfair to evaluate him on foundation of current outcomes. He will come good and we have to present religion in him and we have to help him reasonably than pinpointing that you’re not doing this or that. If you’ve got the help from BCCI, you possibly can work freely. Not simply MS Dhoni or Virat Kohli, when you return slightly additional, a whole lot of captains have gotten help from BCCI presidents of that point.
“Rohit must be getting support from BCCI. I don’t know how much support he must be getting (though). Having that kind of support will help him take right kind of decision at the right time. He will get that liberty if he has that support. Support must be there for Rohit like BCCI has given it to all its captains,” the previous off-spinner added.
