Gautam Gambhir's big statement, said- Rohit Sharma should be handed over the captaincy of T20 World Cup 2024
Gautam Gambhir on Rohit Sharma: The demand to give captaincy to Rohit Sharma for the T20 World Cup 2024 to be played in June has intensified. Former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir has also come out in support of Rohit Sharma.
In the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, Team India made it to the finals by remaining undefeated, but unfortunately, India had to face defeat in the title match. Due to Hardik Pandya's injury during the World Cup and Rohit Sharma being given a break, Suryakumar Yadav was given the command of the T20 team for the next two T20 series, while the command of the ODI team was given to KL Rahul. Meanwhile, the demand to give the captaincy to Rohit Sharma for the T20 World Cup 2024 to be played in June has intensified. Former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir has also come out in support of Rohit Sharma.
Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, was fully expected to win the ODI World Cup title this time, but in the title match, the Australian team led by Pat Cummins defeated India by 6 wickets and captured the trophy. After this, Team India, under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, defeated the Australian team 4-1 in the 5-match T20 series.
The Indian team is now on a tour of South Africa under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav. Where the first T20 has been cancelled due to rain. Now India has to play only 5 T20 International matches before the T20 World Cup 2024. At the same time, Rohit Sharma will be seen captaining only two tests on this tour. Now the demand has started to arise to hand over the captaincy to Rohit Sharma in the T20 World Cup 2024.
Many veterans including cricket fans have advocated for handing over the captaincy of the T20 World Cup to Rohit Sharma. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir has also given a big statement regarding this. He has said that Rohit Sharma is in good form. He has batted brilliantly in the ODI World Cup. I believe that he should be given the captaincy of the upcoming T20 World Cup.
