As hosts India is gearing up for the upcoming World Cup, former Australia opener Greg Blewett feels that senior batsman Rohit Sharma is not the ideal captain to lead India in the mega event.
According to Blewett, Rohit is not the right candidate to lead India and under his leadership, India’s chances this World Cup don’t look bright. He even expressed astonishment that Rohit was not removed from his leadership role following the disappointing performances in recent ICC tournaments.
“I am worried about India’s ODI captain. I really am. Rohit Sharma is just clinging on, and I would have thought that India might have made a move by now on the one-day leadership. I just can see it going wrong again for India. They always get to these World Cups and they just don’t get it done and I’m just not sure that Rohit is getting it done for them,” said Blewett during an interview.
“I just see that Rohit is just hanging by a thread. He is getting a game at the moment because he is captain. And I don’t know whether that is the right way to go,” he added.
Notably, Rohit’s record has been pretty ordinary as both captain and a player since he has taken over as India’s full-time captain.
