Former wicketkeeper Saba Karim heaped praises on Rohit Sharma for his captaincy abilities and said that he does not need to prove to anyone that he is a good captain. After becoming the regular captain, Rohit has led the Indian team very efficiently as the Asian giants rose to the top of the ICC T20I team rankings. India registered a major series win over New Zealand, West Indies and Sri Lanka in the T20I format to overcome the ghosts of the 2021 T20 World Cup.
Karim insisted that Rohit doesn’t take the game too seriously which helped him stay calm.
“I think because his appearance is so cool, he doesn’t take the game too seriously. He thinks it’s a game and needs to be taken as a game. If you bet too much on him So it hurts you from inside and gives you a lot of stress,” Karim told India News.
The 34-year-old is also the most successful captain in the history of the Indian Premier League with a record five titles with Mumbai Indians. In fact his exemplary record in the IPL played a vital role in getting India the captaincy.
“Rohit’s effort is just that even when he was captaining for Mumbai, the stakes were still very high, he tackled all those phases calmly and the same thing is being seen for the Indian team as well. Having such a captain benefits you, you can do man-management and the players see you as a cool captain. So they respond better,” he said.
Karim feels that Rohit already has a rich experience of captaincy and having already tasted immense success, he does not need to prove his worth in front of colleagues, fans and critics.
“this player” [Rohit] He has a lot of experience, he has captained India as well as for Mumbai Indians several times. As a captain, he doesn’t need to prove anything to his teammates.
“If you are young, you are more than willing to prove that you are a good captain. Rohit Sharma is in the best place right now, he doesn’t need to show his teammates, fans or journalists that he is a good captain. He knows what he can do,” he said.
