Rohit Sharma was not ready to become the captain of Team India… Shocking revelation by former BCCI president

New Delhi. Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian cricket team is on the threshold of becoming the world champion in T20. The Indian team has been waiting for this trophy for 11 years. Regarding Rohit’s captaincy, Sourav Ganguly has revealed that there was a time when the Hitman was not ready to take charge of Team India. After a lot of persuasion, Rohit became the captain of the Indian team. Ganguly said that Rohit’s captaincy has played a big role in taking the Indian team to the finals.

The Indian team is a favourite to win the match to be played in Bridgetown, Barbados. The team would like to end its global title drought since the 2013 Champions Trophy. Ganguly told PTI in Kolkata, “I am very happy for Rohit Sharma. This is the circle of life that six months ago he was not even the captain of Mumbai Indians and now India will play in the World Cup final under his leadership.” The former president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) revealed that Rohit was not ready to take up this responsibility after Virat Kohli left the captaincy.

Sourav Ganguly said, ‘Rohit has played two World Cup finals. The team’s campaign here has been undefeated so far. This shows his leadership qualities. I am not surprised at his success because he became the captain when I was the BCCI President. At that time Virat Kohli did not want to captain.’ Then it took a lot of time to convince Rohit to take the responsibility of captaincy. Because he was not ready for it. We all had to work very hard to make him the captain and I am very happy to see the progress of Indian cricket under his leadership.

Ganguly said that sometimes winning the IPL title is very challenging because this tournament lasts for a long time. According to Ganguly, ‘Rohit has the record of winning five IPL titles, which is a big achievement. Winning the IPL is sometimes more difficult. Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that IPL is better than international cricket. You have to win 16-17 (12-13) matches to win the IPL.
