Delhi: Rohit Sharma, who won India in the 2025 Champions Trophy, is now expected to maintain India’s captaincy in Tests and ODI cricket. With this victory, he has become only the second Indian captain after MS Dhoni, who created the history of winning many ICC tournaments.
Rohit received the ‘Player of the Match’ award for playing a 76 -run match in the final, just as Dhoni did in the 2011 World Cup final. Now, former Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik has said that Rohit is now leaving a strong legacy under his captaincy.
Dinesh Karthik’s response
Dinesh Karthik said on the cricbuzz, “Rohit Sharma is one of the greatest captains of Indian cricket, there is no doubt.” He also said that, “Three captains have won us the World Cup – Dhoni, Kapil Dev and Rohit Sharma. It is very difficult to choose which of these is the largest. Each one changed the way of thinking of young players in their time and left their heritage. ”
Future under Test and ODI captaincy
However, till some time ago, questions were being raised on Rohit Sharma’s captaincy, especially during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. India suffered an embarrassing defeat of 0-3 in the domestic Test series against New Zealand and a 1-3 defeat against Australia. After this, it seemed that Rohit’s captaincy time is over.
But in the 2025 Champions Trophy, India’s magnificent ODI form brought new faith in Rohit’s leadership. He scored 76 runs in the last match of the tournament, which helped India chase a difficult target.
You can get a test captaincy opportunity
Rohit can now be seen captaining India in the five-match Test series against England in June, which is part of the 2025-27 World Test Championship. However, it is important to keep in mind that Rohit had taken out himself in the fifth Test of the series against Australia and made Jaspreet Bumrah the captain. Due to Bumrah’s injuries, Rohit may now get a chance to maintain a Test captaincy.
