With the ODI World Cup 2023 just around the corner, the Indian cricket team and the team’s management are under the scanner of critics for various reasons. All hopes and eyes will be on India’s all-format captain Rohit Sharma, who will lead the Indian cricket team for the first time in the ODI World Cup 2023.
Notably, the Indian cricket team last won an ICC trophy 13 years back during the 2013 Champions Trophy under the leadership of MS Dhoni. As the frustration continues to grow among the fans regarding the ICC trophy drought of team India, it won’t be wrong to say that the 2023 ODI World Cup will be a litmus test of Rohit Sharma‘s captaincy tenure after India’s humiliating defeats in the 2022 T20 World Cup semi-final and 2023 World Test Championship final under his leadership.

Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer and World Cup hero Yuvraj Singh has extended his support to the Indian captain Rohit Sharma. In a recent interview, Yuvraj Singh described Rohit Sharma as a good captain, but he also emphasized on the importance of having a quality team to secure victory in the ICC tournaments.
Yuvi pointed out that MS Dhoni’s success as a captain was also because of a formidable team comprising experienced players. He said:
“I think Rohit has become a very good leader because he has led the Mumbai Indians in the IPL for such a long time. And he is a very sensible guy under pressure. You need to give a good team to a sensible captain who is experienced as well. MS Dhoni was a good captain but he also got a good team right?”
He added: “It has to be a team effort. People have put their hands up under pressure.”
