Rohit is unlikely to continue serving as captain past 2023: Aakash Chopra
But the main concern before India’s 2023–25 WTC cycle is Rohit Sharma’s future as Test captain. Aakash Chopra, a former Indian opener, has warned BCCI selectors that Rohit is unlikely to continue serving as captain past 2023.
Chopra said, “The issue is not Rohit Sharma’s leadership. Playing XI is crucial”
“Rohit Sharma is a capable leader. That is not an option because they are aware of the game’s pace and don’t commit common errors. He is a good man. The issue is not Rohit Sharma’s leadership. Playing XI is crucial (for the WTC final). The type of pitches they use at home is the subject of the following query. As you can see, the team management made all of these choices,” Chopra said.
He added, “When Virat Kohli was the captain, I do not doubt that Rohit Sharma would have been a member of the squad. Kohli will now be a part of that group as well. The person who throws the coin, however, is responsible. As it was with Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri before, the spotlight is now on Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid. The sad reality is this.
