Before the tournament starts, there is a dicey situation in the Indian team. Their captaincy is a concern. BCCI wants Rohit Sharma to lead the team. Former BCCI President Sourav Ganguly backed Rohit Sharma to Lead India in that tournament.
Sourav Ganguly’s Words:
After Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma has become the captain of the Indian team. After that, he gave his best to take India to the next level. In his captaincy, India performed exceptionally well. India beat all the teams in the group stage and the semifinal stage. They were the only team to qualify in the World Cup final being unbeaten. Unfortunately, they finished the tournament as the runners-up. Rohit has done an amazing captaincy job in that tournament. BCCI is impressed by his captaincy and wants him to lead Team India in the T20 World Cup.
Sourav Ganguly was the BCCI President when Rohit Sharma became the captain. He always praised Rohit for his exceptional talent. In this captaincy topic, Sourav Ganguly backed him. He said, “I expect that Rohit Sharma will continue as captain till the T20 World Cup in 2024.”
