Mumbai: Team India recently brought an end to their title drought as they clinched the T20 World Cup 2024. Former England captain Michael Vaughan, who follows Indian cricket closely, has taken a jibe at the three stars who retired following the WC triumph – Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja. As per Vaughan, the trio should have combined to win more ICC titles.
“They’ll all agree that it is a perfect way to go, but they should have won more white ball trophies amongst them. To think that he (Rohit) has taken another seventeen years to get another one in his hand, I think he will be the first one to admit that they should have won one or two more,” Vaughan said on theClub Prairie Fire podcast.
Meanwhile, with India set to take on Sri Lanka in an ODI and T20I series, reports suggest that Rohit and Kohli will not be present for that as the Indian board wants the two cricketers to rest before the home season.
The question now is, who will then lead the side? The same PTI report suggests that the captain for the series would either be Hardik Pandya or KL Rahul.
“Both are automatic choices in ODI set up and the three 50 over games against England before the Champions Trophy is good enough practice for them. For next few months, they both will prioritize Tests and India will play 10 of them between September to January,” a Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) source told PTI.
