On Friday, Chetan Sharma, the Chairman of the All-India Senior-Selection Committee, stated that the right-handed batter is the country’s number one cricketer after naming Rohit Sharma as the Test captain for the upcoming series against Sri Lanka. Rohit Sharma was named the Indian men’s team’s new Test captain, while veterans Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane were dropped from the Sri Lanka series.
He is our country’s number one cricketer, having played all three game formats. The important thing is how we set Rohit, just as cricketers tend their bodies. We’ll talk to Rohit from time to time. Suppose such a prominent cricketer is leading the country. In that case, we as a selection committee want to groom more captains, and grooming them under Rohit will be tremendous, “Chetan Sharma stated during a virtual press conference.
“It is difficult to predict what problems may arise in the future, but Rohit is currently healthy. But, of course, we will rest every one of our cricketers; we want to rest them adequately.
In response to Rohit’s selection as Test captain, Chetan stated: “Rohit was an obvious choice for us, and we are delighted to have named him captain. We’ll be grooming future captains under him; let’s hope everything goes well, and if things go as planned, it’ll be fantastic.”
“If Rohit can maintain his lead for an extended period, it will be highly beneficial to us. However, no one can predict that Rohit will be the Test captain as long as he is available and fit. So we will give him rest when he requests it, “He continued.
