India vs Sri Lanka: Anything Rohit Sharma touches these days, it turns to gold, says Mohammad Kaif

Mohammad Kaif on Sunday praised Rohit Sharma's captaincy, saying that everything the right-handed batter is touching, is turning to gold. Kaif hailed Rohit's moves of promoting Shreyas Iyer to No. 3 in the ongoing T20I series against Sri Lanka in the absence of Virat Kohli. "Be careful to shake hands with Rohit Sharma these days. Anything he touches turns to gold. Shreyas at No.3, rotation of players, bowling changed. Every move, a masterstroke. #Goldentouch @ImRo45," tweeted Kaif.

India have now gone 11 matches without being defeated in the shortest format, and they are just one win away from equalling the world record.
