Former England cricket team skipper Nasser Hussain was all praise for Rohit Sharma and he explained the India star's captaincy style as "iron fist in a velvet glove". Rohit has led the Indian cricket team by example as they are currently unbeaten ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024 final against South Africa on Saturday.
