In a short period of time, Rohit Sharma has shown to be an excellent captain for the Indian side. He has yet to lose a series since taking on the full-time leadership. He is also the most successful Indian T20 League captain, having guided Mumbai to five victories. His belief in his players is one of the main reasons for his success.
After getting thrashed by the West Indies in the recent T20I series, Rohit Sharma instructed Avesh Khan to reduce his pace The Indian quick claimed he received 'enormous' trust from Rohit, who is known for fully supporting his players. In the fourth match, his match-winning figures of 2/17 in four overs enabled the Indian team to win the 20-over series.
Despite the pressure of captaincy, the Indian remains a calm character who allows his players to do whatever they want. Former India wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel praised Rohit's attitude, describing what sets him apart from the others.
"I have played under Rohit Sharma's captaincy at Mumbai Indians and the one thing that stands out is how he backs players who aren't performing. He is vocal about them even in public and in press conferences, as we saw with the case of Avesh Khan. Rohit backed him even after four failures and he delivered with a Man-of-the-Match performance," Parthiv said on his YouTube channel.
"Rohit believes in taking instinctive decisions on the ground rather than pre-meditating them. When a crunch situation arises, he takes a call according to the situation and it is one of the main reasons why he has won five IPL trophies with Mumbai Indians. India have also won multi-national tournaments like the Asia Cup and Nidahas Trophy under Rohit's captaincy," he added.
Parthiv Patel on Shikhar Dhawan
Shikhar Dhawan, who guided the side to ODI victory in the West Indies, was also lauded by Parthiv. "Shikhar Dhawan has a pretty laid-back style of captaincy where he doesn't take too much pressure and keeps the team atmosphere light. He does back his players, but most importantly he also gives them space to execute their own plans," Parthiv said.
