Rohit Sharma shares his philosophy of captaincy
After the series triumph against Sri Lanka, Rohit Sharma shared his experience of maiden Test captaincy assignment. Rohit said that he likes to go by his instincts during the game, along with some assistance from the other senior members of the team.
“I have not captained much in red-ball cricket. I have done it in a few games in Ranji Trophy. Captaining in Test matches was a big thing for me. The team supported me a lot. People were telling me what to do and what not to do. There are many seniors in our team who understand the game very well. They were giving their inputs and there was my reading of the game as well. “Eventually, I go by my instincts. My philosophy as captain is that you need to take what you feel is the right decision at a given point in time, keeping the game situation in mind. I try to analyze all these things on the ground.”, Rohit said in the post-match press conference.
