Rohit Sharma Takes the Helm for Upcoming Tournaments!

Rohit Sharma captaincy

Indian cricket fans can rejoice! BCCI secretary Jay Shah confirmed Rohit Sharma will lead the team in two major upcoming events: the Champions Trophy in Pakistan (February) and the World Test Championship final in London (June). This news comes after Sharma’s successful T20 World Cup captaincy that led India to victory.

Shah expressed his confidence in Sharma’s leadership, declaring, “We are confident that under Rohit Sharma’s guidance, we will emerge victorious in both the WTC Final and Champions Trophy.” These remarks came during a congratulatory video for the T20 World Cup win, praising Sharma, Virat Kohli, coach Rahul Dravid, and Ravindra Jadeja.

Shah also acknowledged India’s impressive journey in the past year. They reached three finals: losing to Australia in the WTC final (June 2023), enjoying a dominant run in the ODI World Cup (November 2023), but ultimately falling short against Australia in the finals. Interestingly, back in February 2023, Shah had already placed his faith in Sharma, appointing him captain for the 2024 T20 World Cup and predicting the team’s success, a prediction that ultimately came true.
