Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag has heaped huge praise for Indian skipper Rohit Sharma for his exceptional leadership skills in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. It is within the span of 9 months that India has secured back-to-back ICC titles, an achievement that remains unmatched by any other Indian captain.
Virender Sehwag Lauds Rohit Sharma’s Leadership
Sehwag who played a key role for India in Dhoni’s era, lauded Rohit Sharma’s ability to manage the bowlers and maintain a very strong communication with the players. Under his guidance India has become unstoppable, he also delivered a match-winning knock in the most crucial Champions Trophy final against New Zealand. According to Sehwag, Rohit has the ability to create a positive environment and ensure every player feels valued.
Second Captain To Win Multiple ICC Titles After MS Dhoni
“We underrate his captaincy, but after these two trophies, he became the second (Indian) captain after MS Dhoni to win multiple ICC titles. 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,” Sehwag said on the Cricbuzz.
Rohit Sharma Makes Every Player Valued
“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.
