The victorious captain of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, Eoin Morgan, commended Rohit Sharma’s leadership in the ongoing World Cup 2023, praising his instrumental role in guiding the Indian team to the tournament final.
Rohit’s captaincy has been inspirational, steering the Men in Blue to an unbeaten streak, a remarkable feat highlighted by Morgan. Emphasizing India’s exceptional performance, Morgan noted Virat Kohli’s dominance in run-scoring and Mohammed Shami leading the wicket charts.
In his ICC column, Morgan lauded India’s transformation since their T20 World Cup semi-final defeat, attributing it to Rohit’s leadership and aggressive tactics.
“Since the T20 World Cup semi-final defeat in Adelaide against England last year, Rohit has spearheaded a shift in the team’s batting approach,” Morgan opined.
Drawing parallels with his own captaincy in 2019, Morgan noted the shift towards an assertive style under Rohit’s guidance. The Indian skipper’s sensational form, amassing 550 runs in 10 matches at a striking rate of 124.15, has been crucial, especially with his aggressive approach in powerplays setting the tone for the team.
Morgan expressed curiosity about whether India, under Rohit’s leadership, would maintain their aggressive style in the World Cup final, anticipating an intriguing showdown.
