Rohit Sharma's captaincy was number one in the World Cup 2023 and there is no doubt about it. Rohit seems to be a very settled captain in white ball cricket. However, everything has become complicated for Rohit after wearing the white jersey in the longest format of cricket. In the first Test against South Africa, the bat did not work and the captaincy was also not good.
After the defeat in Centurion, everyone has remembered Virat Kohli as captain. There was aggression under Kohli's captaincy. Virat knew how to play by attacking the opposition team and he taught this skill to all his eleven players. Let us tell you in detail why Kohli is the best captain in Tests and why Rohit's captaincy looks lackluster in the white jersey.
Virat Kohli Hardly anyone would have led Team India better than him in Test cricket. Kohli was such a captain who had the courage to go to foreign soil and face the host team face to face. The most special thing about Virat's captaincy was that he knew the art of dominating the opposition team. On the field, King Kohli used to encourage his bowlers all the time and his celebration at every wicket was worth seeing.
Under the leadership of Virat, Indian fast bowlers achieved maximum success away from home. The reason for this was that Kohli supported his bowlers. Kohli was probably the only captain of India who entered the opposition team's house and sledded. Under the captaincy of Kohli, the body language of the fast bowlers and the entire team looked different. The fielders and bowlers tried their best to save every run and take every wicket.
Under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, Team India defeated powerful teams like Australia and England at home. Captain Kohli has also won matches away from home, where a few years ago this day seemed just a dream. Kohli commanded India in 68 Test matches and during this period the team won 40 matches, while the team had to face defeat in only 17 matches, while 11 matches were drawn.
Rohit Sharma captaincy has been excellent in white ball, but in Test cricket the Hitman looks dull as a captain. Even in the first Test match played against South Africa in Centurion, many questions were raised on Rohit's captaincy. From bowling changes to running the game, Rohit looked weak in every aspect.
Rohit has been successful in getting excellent performance from the players in ODI and T20, but he himself has looked tired in Test. In the first test, not only Rohit but the body language of the entire team looked very bad.
