Virat Kohli’s childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma has offered a suggestion to current Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma. During an appearance on Khelneeti, Rajkumar said that the new captain should learn how to keep calm and not to express his anger on his teammates in public.
During the recently-concluded white-ball series against West Indies, Rohit Sharma was furious on Yuzvendra Chahal for not running fast and his comments were caught on stump mic that went viral. Also, when Bhuvneshwar Kumar dropped a catch, he was frustrated.
Fans should note that this is natural human behavior and reaction. However, Rajkumar Sharma has suggested that Rohit must learn to keep his emotions under control when he is leading the Indian cricket team at the international level.
“Rohit Sharma is considered a cool caption but we have seen him get angry on the field lately. He must learn to not express his anger at his teammates in public. If someone makes a mistake, then he needs to make them understand in a calmer way,” said Rajkumar Sharma.
Rohit Sharma is now the captain of the Indian cricket team in all formats of international cricket
Rohit Sharma was recently named the captain of the Indian Test cricket team. Late last year, he officially became the captain of the Indian ODI and T20I team. So now he is the third Indian cricket team captain after MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli to become permanent captain in all three formats of the game.
The Men in Blue defeated New Zealand and West Indies at home under Sharma’s captaincy. Now they will lock horns with the Sri Lankan cricket team in a 3-match T20I series and a 2-match ICC World Test Championship series starting this Thursday in Lucknow. It will be interesting to see how Rohit performs as the Test captain of India.
