While the 37-year-old has been applauded, former Indian opener Virender Sehwag insisted that the Indian fans and former players ‘under-rate’ Rohit’s captaincy. 

“We underrate his [Rohit] captaincy, but after these two trophies, he became the second (Indian) captain after MS Dhoni to win multiple ICC titles,” Sehwag said on Cricbuzz. 

“The way the captain has used his bowlers, the way he has handled the team, the way he has guided the team, and whatever communication he does, he does it very clearly. Whether it’s playing Harshit Rana first ahead of Arshdeep Singh or then bringing in Varun Chakravarty in place of Harshit Rana, he has done good communication with his players, and that was important. That’s why Rohit Sharma is a better captain," he further added. 

Sehwag also pointed out Rohit’s selfless nature as something that has bonded the team well. The former Indian batter stated that the current Indian skipper has ensured that there’s no bout of ‘insecurity’ in the dressing room. 

“He thinks less about himself, more about his team, his teammates. He makes them comfortable. He realises that if a player has insecurity, then his performance will not come. That’s why he doesn’t let anyone feel insecure in that team. He takes everyone with him. This is the need for a better captain and leader. And Rohit Sharma is doing it very well," Sehwag added.
