India has been on a winning streak ever since Rohit Sharma took over as the full-time captain. They first whitewashed New Zealand, West Indies then and Sri Lanka in the T20 games, and then they defeated Sri Lanka 2-0 in a Test series. This has set India in a very good position on the world stage.
Many have opined that Rohit Sharma is reaping the rewards of what Virat Kohli did for many years. But former Indian batter Mohammad Kaif is not of the same opinion. He took it to Twitter to say that the current Indian team is shaping up to be the best team under Rohit Sharma's captaincy and Rahul Dravid's coaching.
"KL, Rohit, Vihari, Kohli, Iyer, Pant, Jadeja, Ash, Bumrah, Shami and many No.11 options ... Suddenly, it all looks fine. Under Rohit and Dravid, a world-beating Test unit is taking shape," he said in his tweet.

This, however, did not go well with the fans on the internet. They were angry that Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri were not given the credit they deserve. Many came to their defence saying that it was these two who actually built the team and brought it where it is today.
"Ghar me khana nahi milta kya bhai jo gaaliyaan khane aa jaate ho Twitter par ghatiya ghatiya opinion leke?" a fan pointed out as the batter got a bad comments for his opinion.
Here are some of the best tweets
According to Kaif "a world-beating Test unit is taking shape" and suddenly, it all looks fine.

World beating Test unit MIGHT be taking shape under Rohit and Dravid but the team was originally built by Kohli and Shastri!!
Give credit where it's due ffs!— Shivani Shukla 🏏 (@iShivani_Shukla) March 15, 2022
Current Test team has been made by Virat Kohli , Ravi Shastri.
From Vihari to Axar , everyone first played under Virat Kohli.
Don't come with favouritism.
