Rohit Sharma, India's 'Hitman' new Test skipper

Virat Kohli struts and shouts, Rohit Sharma strolls and smiles, preferring a more genial approach to the art of cricket captaincy than his predecessor as India's Test skipper. "A captain needs to stand at (the) forefront while performing, and for everything else needs to stand at the back," Rohit told an event before his appointment to one of most high-pressure jobs in world sport. The skipper "can make a difference by standing at the back because then he can make sure he puts his hand around everyone", he said. The captain has to be "the least important member of the team".

Rishabh Pant says the team is looking at exploring as many options as possible in the build-up to the T20 World Cup, which is to take place in eight month's time. Pant, who was appointed vice-captain in the absence of KL Rahul for the ongoing T20 series against the West Indies, smashed a brisk half-century in the team's win in the second game here on Friday night. Among other questions, he was also asked about the plans for the T20 World Cup in Australia.

"We are trying to find out which positions suit whom and how they can benefit the team. So we're trying out several options, whatever seems right for the team eventually will be final."
