Jay Shah confirms Rohit as India captain
Rohit Sharma will continue to lead India at the 2024 T20 World Cup in the Caribbean and the USA, BCCI secretary Jay Shah confirmed on the eve (Feb 14) of the third India-England Test in Rajkot. Shah said Rohit has everyone's backing within the dressing room and the board, adding future captain Hardik Pandya will be his deputy in this tournament.
After replacing Virat Kohli as the all-format skipper in late 2021, Rohit captained Team India at the 2022 T20 WC in Australia, where they lost to England by ten wickets in the semis. Under his leadership, India played the World Test Championship (WTC) and the 2023 World Cup final (at home), losing to Australia on both occasions.
