Ricky Ponting Backs Rohit Sharma To Be India's Next Test Captain
Former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting has backed India's white-ball captain Rohit Sharma to be the next Test captain after Virat Kohli. He added that Sharma's success with Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) is a proof of his captaincy credentials. After becoming the T20I skipper in November 2021, Sharma was given ODI captaincy as well in December.
He was also elevated as the vice-captain in Tests before being ruled out of South Africa series due to left hamstring injury. Now with Kohli no longer the Test captain, Ponting has endorsed Sharma, a five-time IPL winning captain, to be India's skipper in the longest format of the game. In 22 T20Is under Sharma's captaincy, India has won 18 while losing four matches. In 10 ODIs with Sharma as captain, India has won eight while losing two matches.
