Sharma broke down his leadership technique in a video compilation that was recently shared by Star Sports on Twitter. In the video, he admitted that he emulated the same strategy that he used in the uber-popular IPL franchise, Mumbai Indians, which bolstered their charge to lay claim to the mantle of the most successful IPL team in the history of the league.

"What I have done over the years with the Mumbai Indians franchise and also the time that I have led India, it's just keeping it very-very simple and not complicate things too much. Making sure that... Whatever I have spoken of before about giving the guys that freedom. Making them understand what their role is. That is what I will be expecting of myself, that's what I want to do for the team, for the players to make sure there is no confusion," asserted Sharma.

"That (confusion) is the last thing you want, especially when you are playing a high-profile tournament. We want to make sure all of that is taken care of and that's where my role becomes very, very crucial along with Rahul (Dravid) bhai. We will try and keep our focus on that. But for me, It's very simple. I try and keep things literally very, very simple," he added.
