Difference between the captaincy of Rohit, Dhoni and Virat

In an interview with Vimal Kumar, Ashwin said that there are 2-3 good things about Rohit's captaincy. He always keeps the team's atmosphere light. He tries to keep it light. He is quite balanced and strategically strong. Both Dhoni and Virat were also strategically strong, but Rohit worked a lot on strategy. Ashwin further said that Rohit works with the analytics team before a big series and supports his players a lot.

The Indian spinner said that if a big match and series is coming up, Rohit sits with the coach and analytics team and makes a strategy. Like what is the weakness of which batsman and what plan to make against the bowler? This is his strength but he always keeps the team's atmosphere light and fully supports his players. If he gives a place to a player in the playing 11, then he supports him 100 percent. I have played most of my professional cricket under the captaincy of these three.

Team India will host Bangladesh
