"Since Taking Over As Captain...": Australia Great Takes Firm Stance On Rohit Sharma's Future

The Indian team under the leadership of Rohit Sharma was outplayed by Australia by 209 runs at the Kennington Oval in London at the ICC World Test Championship final. Rohit Sharma's captaincy was criticized and as a batter too he could score only 15 and 43 in the two innings. Despite India failing to clinch ICC T20 World Cup 2022 and ICC WTC final 2023, Australia's World Cup-winning captain Michael Clarke has backed the skipper Rohit.

"I would be keeping the faith with Rohit, I think he is a very good captain. I like his aggressive approach, he looks to be as positive as he can be. He has had a lot of success as a leader (look at his IPL record for Mumbai Indians). Just because India didn't win the World Test Championship doesn't mean Rohit is not the right guy to lead India. The fact that India qualified again, they are the only team to make consecutive finals, says a lot about how they have played their Test cricket over the past four years (qualifying for both Test Championships). It is also a very important time for stability with the One Day World Cup right around the corner," Michael Clarke told Revsportz.

The 2015 ICC World Cup-winning captain Clarke feels that making it to two consecutive finals of an ICC World Test Championship is a feat in itself.

"Since taking over as captain he has won you a Test series against Australia at home. He has done well as a batter as well. Think of his hundred in the last series. Losing a one off final doesn't make him a bad captain and nor does it make India a bad team. To make consecutive finals isn't easy. What it means is that India was the only team to play consistently well over a period of four years. To do so in Test cricket is commendable and I would urge you to look at
