NEW DELHI: Former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir has commended Rohit Sharma's captaincy, highlighting his ability to provide a sense of security in the dressing room. Gambhir praised Rohit for maintaining a secure environment and making players feel backed by the captain. Under Rohit's leadership, India remains unbeaten in the ongoing World Cup 2023, advancing to the semi-finals.
"A good captain and leader give you security, which makes the dressing room secure, not only for himself but for the other 14 players as well. And Rohit Sharma has done that," said Gambhir on Star Sports.
Rohit Sharma has an impressive captaincy record, winning 77 out of 103 matches, with just 23 losses, two draws, and one no-result. Gambhir emphasised that Rohit's leadership style, coupled with his success in domestic tournaments like the IPL, sets him apart.
