Rohit Sharma has been victorious as India’s all-format captain. Under his leadership the team remains undefeated at home. After defeating New Zealand last year, the Men in Blue made back-to-back clean sweeps over West Indies and Sri Lanka in T20Is and finished the Test season on a high after beating the island nation 2-0.
The 34-year-old may have made a stellar start to his captaincy career but his leadership is yet to be tested against big guns like Australia, who tour India for a 4-match Test series later this year. Former cricketer Brad Hogg also believes the same.

In his latest video on YouTube, the former Australian cricketer said that Rohit will face a big challenge during the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia along with a strong team.
“India has got four Test matches against Australia. It will be difficult for Rohit Sharma. I want to see him under pressure. Will he keep the same calm body language or will we see a little anger? He has got the T20 series against South Africa at home, the tour of England and the T20 World Cup in Australia. So, there are pressure tournaments coming up for Rohit right now,” Hogg said in his latest YouTube video.
After the domestic season remains unbeaten, Rohit will focus on the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, which begins in Mumbai from March 26. He has joined the camp of Mumbai Indians (MI) and has started his preparations for the upcoming season.
