With India failing to win yet another major Trophy, the fans have started bashing Rohit Sharma for his captaincy calls and team selections. India recently lost their second consecutive World Test Championship (WTC) Final to Australia by 209 runs at The Oval, and ever since then, the talks about sacking him from captaincy have erupted immensely.
Now, Michael Clarke, a former captain of Australia, has endorsed Rohit Sharma as the team's captain for the foreseeable future. After India's humiliating loss to Australia in the World Test Championship (WTC) final earlier this month, Rohit's leadership abilities came under scrutiny. Though it is not the first time that India did not win in a knockout game, it has been a decade since India haven’t won any major tournament.
Speaking to Revsportz, the former Australian skipper said that just because India didn't win the Test World Championship doesn't mean Rohit is not the right guy to lead India. Clark also pointed out that India is the only side who have advanced to successive finals, hence the fact that they did so speaks much about their performance in Test cricket over the previous four years. With the One-Day World Cup just around the doorstep, it is also a crucial time for stability and not to focus on chopping as well as changing the team.
Fans also reacted humorously to this comment, here are some interesting tweets from the fans on this comment from Michael Clark
Michael Clark, one of the most successful Australian captains, also went on to argue that India isn't a bad team only because they lost the WTC final. Instead, the former Australian star also went on to emphasize that India's success in two consecutive finals shows that they have played reliable cricket throughout the years.
India will next be next seen in action when they square off against the West Indies next month for playing a series of two Test Series followed by three One Day Internationals and lastly five T20 Internationals.
