Lucknow, Feb 23: When Rohit Sharma was named the Test captain for the two-Test series against Sri Lanka, he was handed over the reins of the Indian cricket team in all the three forms earlier this week. Captaining the team in all three formats of the game is a ‘wonderful experience,’ according to the skipper and opener.
On Thursday in Lucknow, Team India’s opener will lead the side in the first of three T20 matches against Sri Lanka.
“It is a huge honour. It is a great feeling to captain the side in all three formats of the game. Now I have a lot of new challenges to look forward to. I am definitely looking forward to lead the side successfully,” Rohit told the media during a virtual conference from Lucknow on Wednesday.
“It doesn’t matter if it is a batter or bowler who is vice-captain of the side. Bumrah has got a great cricketing mind and it is good to see him stepping into the leadership role. This will make him more confident as well. I usually talk a lot about cricket with Bumrah regularly,” he added.
Notably, Jasprit Bumrah has been named as the vice-captain for the series against Sri Lanka.
