'Just Like Kapil Dev And MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma Is A People's Captain', Says Sunil Gavaskar
T20 World Cup: Legendary India batter Sunil Gavaskar lauded Rohit Sharma for leading the side to winning 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup, saying that the opener is a people’s captain, just like how MS Dhoni and Kapil Dev were.
Rohit had been a member of India winning 2007 T20 World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy. As a captain, he finished as runners-up in 2023 ODI World Cup and World Test Championship. But Rohit finally got his date with the destiny when India beat South Africa by seven runs to win the T20 World Cup at Kensington Oval last month.
Shortly after announcing his T20I retirement, Rohit called the 2024 T20 World Cup win, which India won as an unbeaten team in the competition, as the greatest achievement of his playing career. "Rohit Sharma joins those other two cricketing giants, Kapil Dev and Dhoni in captaining India to a World Cup trophy. Like the duo were, Rohit is also a people’s captain.
