‘Rohit apna selfless jalwa jari rakhna’ – Fans react as reports suggest Rohit Sharma to have asked for leading India in T20 World Cup 2024
India is preparing for the T20 World Cup 2024, which is set to be played in the month of June. Reports suggest Rohit Sharma to have asked for leading India in the tournament. These reports claim that Rohit wanted the Indian management to take a call on the leadership for the big tournament as soon as possible, as only 7 more months are left to start the tournament.
India announced its squad for the T20I series against South Africa. Along with the ODI and Test squads, India announced the squad for South Africa in the shortest international format, which will get all the focus for the next 7-8 months. For the series, it was reported that Rohit might be asked to leave the Indian side. As it turned out, Rohit was not even included in the T20I squad.
Suryakumar Yadav will be continuing to lead the Indian side in T20Is. In the absence of Hardik Pandya, Yadav will be the Indian skipper. But for long term, India seems to have different plans. The injury of Hardik has forced the Indian management to look for various options as captains. The injury of Hardik is taking more time to recover than anticipated.
Rohit to lead India in T20 World Cup 2024?
Rohit seems to be the front runner to lead the Indian side in the T20 World Cup 2024. Rohit has the caliber to help India to win the big tournaments. As a captain, Sharma has 5 titles with Mumbai Indians in the IPL. Even in international cricket, Rohit has won a couple of Asia Cups as a captain. The big challenge for India would be to win a big tournament after 11 long years.
Reports further suggest that Hardik might be available for selection in the IPL 2024. Before that, he might need more time to recover from his injury. These factors have forced Rohit to think of leading the Indian side himself in the T20 World Cup 2024. The Indian cricketer has not played a T20I for more than a year now. Before the big tournament, Rohit would be hoping to get hold of the T20I side.
