Rohit Sharma’s career as India’s test captain got off to a flying start, as India dominated Sri Lanka in a two-match test series. The Indian team won the test series 2-0 on Monday at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif took to his social media account to congratulate Rohit Sharma and the Indian team. However, he was trolled heavily by the Twitterati for his comments. Kaif stated that this Indian team under Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid is turning into a ‘world-beating test unit’.
Mohammad Kaif wrote, “KL, Rohit, Vihari, Kohli, Iyer, Pant, Jadeja, Ash, Bumrah, Shami and many No.11 options … Suddenly, it all looks fine. Under Rohit and Dravid, a world beating Test unit is taking shape.”

Mohammad Kaif’s comment irked the fans, who were quick to point out Virat Kohli’s record as test captain. They posted that Kohli and Shastri deserve credit for building this team and taking it to greater heights in Test cricket.
This team was already a world beating side under Kohli. "Suddenly all looks fine" because nothing happened to this team. India under Captain Virat Kohli was 2-1 in Eng, 1-0 vs NZ and 1-1 in SA.

Current Test team has been made by Virat Kohli , Ravi Shastri.
From Vihari to Axar , everyone first played under Virat Kohli.
Don't come with favouritism.

What do u mean by ‘suddenly’? Winning 2 back to back series in Australia didn’t happen suddenly. We didn’t suddenly win matches in England.
Kohli & Shastri worked hard to create this quality pace attack. Rohit & Dravid have a solid foundation that they just need to carry forward— IRAM (@IRAM15350276) March 15, 2022
