Rohit Sharma takes up additional responsibility made ODI skipper

The Cricket governing body in India, the Board of Control for Cricket in India(BCCI) took a big decision ahead of India’s tour of South Africa by making Hitman Rohit Sharma the skipper for the 50-over format, making him the fill time while ball skipper. He was made the captain of the short format.

The team of selectors has decided to replace Run Machine Virat Kohli with Rohit Sharma. In the meeting held on Wednesday, the decision was taken and the same was announced by the BCCI through Twitter.

“The All-India Senior Selection Committee also decided to name Mr Rohit Sharma as the Captain of the ODI & T20I teams going forward,” the BCCI tweeted while announcing the decision.

Virat Kohli’s stint as the skipper for the 50-over format was ended with the new decision. After taking over the captaincy from Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Virat Kohli led the team for five years. Kohli established himself as the successful skipper with a winning percentage which is higher than MS Dhoni.

Bringing a new era in Indian cricket, Rohit Sharma was made the white-ball cricket skipper. He is having high expectations of leading the Men in Blue in lifting the upcoming edition of the T20 World Cup and the 50 Overworld Cup.

India had won the last International Cricket Council(ICC) trophy in the captaincy of former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who entered the history books as the only skipper to have lifted all the three ICC trophies. Under his captaincy, India won T20 World Cup, 50-Over World Cup, and Champions Trophy.

The quest to win the ICC trophy continues ever since Mahendra Singh Dhoni stepped down as the skipper. Under Virat Kohli’s captaincy, India had to exit the 2019 World Cup and the recent T20 World Cup after putting up a bad show. Virat’s poor form is also raising a lot of questions in recent times.

Legendary Indian player Rahul Dravid was made the head coach of India’s national team. With Rohit Sharma’s elevation as the skipper, and in the guidance of Dravid, team India is expected to scale new heights and go down as one of the successful teams in world cricket.
