Team India captain Rohit Sharma has been praised by many of his teammates. India won the T20 World Cup 2024 title under Rohit’s captaincy. At the same time, they also reached the final of the ODI World Cup 2023. Rohit has had a very good relationship with his teammates. Recently, former Indian cricketer Piyush Chawla has made an important disclosure about Rohit. Chawla told how Rohit thinks for the team. Rohit once messaged him late at night.
Piyush Chawla said about Rohit that he is not a captain but a leader. Chawla recently said on Shubhankar Mishra’s YouTube channel, “He messaged me once at around 2:30 in the night, I want to talk about something, come over. He talked to me about setting the fielding by making a pitch on paper. I don’t remember whether it was for Warner or someone else. You can imagine that even at night, it is going on in his mind that if PC (Piyush Chawla) bowls, then how to bring out the best in him. This is a very good thing.”
Rohit is not a captain but a leader –
Chawla said, ”There is a captain and there is a leader. Rohit Sharma is not a captain but a leader. The way he bats makes it easy for the people coming. He sets everything beforehand. I have played a lot of cricket with him. We don’t just meet on the ground but discussions are going on sitting off the field or in the team room.”
