India cricket team spinner Ravichandran Ashwin feels Rohit Sharma is a better skipper compared to MS Dhoni or Virat Kohli. The veteran credited Hitman for his approach as the captain, highlighting that he always made the effort to keep the team environment light. Ashwin will next play under Rohit Sharma in IND vs BAN series which will commence on September 19 onwards.
Why Ashwin feels Rohit Sharma is a better captain
On a podcast, Ashwin said that Rohit was both balanced and tactically strong. He went on to claim that Dhoni and Virat Kohli were also strong in that aspect but it is Rohit who works more on the tactics.
“If there is any big match or series coming up, Rohit Sharma sits with the analytics team and coach and prepares for it, like what’s the weakness of a particular batsman, what’s the plan of a bowler. That’s his strength but he always keeps the environment of the team light and backs the players. If he selects a player in the XI, he backs them 100%,” Ashwin said on Vimal Kumar’s YouTube channel.
