Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has had a couple of fantastic months. After leading India to the T20 World Cup title back in June, Rohit was named the International Cricketer of the Year at the CEAT Cricket Ratings Awards in Mumbai on Wednesday. Since taking over as captain in 2021, Rohit’s stature has only grown.
He obviously is one of India’s most important players but it’s also his nature that has floored his peers, seniors and juniors alike. If there’s one thing common between the youngsters that have played under Rohit, it’s the collective admiration for their captain.
As Jatin Sapru pointed out, Rohit is like that older brother, who will scold you for your mistakes, but also love you later and make up for it. However, the love part may seem hunky dory, the scary side of Rohit is not something any player would want to witness. Indian pacer, Mohammed Shami explained how Rohit, as a captain, is brilliant, but also warned against riling him up.
“The best thing about Rohit Sharma is that he gives you freedom but if you don’t live up to his expectations then the reactions we see on the screen, the ones we understand without him saying anything, start to come out,” Shami said at the award function.
