India have moved on after Virat Kohli’s captaincy era. Rohit Sharma has taken over the leadership in all three formats for India. Two modern great batters in the game has set their own standards with their class but when it comes to captaincy, Hitman might well be a bit ahead of the two.
Virat Kohli vs Rohit Sharma statistics
Virat Kohli has captained India for nearly 5 years and has some good win percentage in all three formats. But what was disappointing that he failed to win an ICC trophy as well as other big tournaments like Asia Cup.
India had some great depth in their squad when Kohli was the captain. The Men In Blue were favourites in almost every tournament they entered but there was always something missing from Kohli when managing his team in crunch situations. Be it international cricket or the Indian Premier League, Rohit Sharma always was ahead than Kohli as captain.
Rohit Sharma guided Mumbai Indians to 5 IPL titles before he took over the captaincy of India. So far, Rohit has won every bi lateral series as captain of India, but the Asia cup disappointment is still a thing for concern. It is a huge test coming for Rohit as skipper in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup.
