Mumbai: Team India has booked another final in the ICC under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. India will be up against New Zealand in the finals on 9 March after their blistering performance in the Champions Trophy. Recent criticism of Rohit Sharma’s physical condition has led to growing concerns about his fitness. Now India’s T20 captain, Suryakumar Yadav, has come to the defence of his skipper.
A Leader Who Delivers Results
Rohit’s captaincy has made Team India reach 4 ICC tournament finals, which is a brilliant record. In 2024, under his captaincy, India broke a 17-year-long jinx, winning the T20 World Cup trophy. Despite his success, Rohit has often been criticised for his fitness. Recently, Rohit faced criticism from Congress leader Dr. Shama Mohammed, who questioned not only his physical fitness but also his leadership skills, labelling him as ‘unfit’.
These are the Unstoppable Indias in ICC Tournaments
After a T20 World Cup success in 2024, Team India now found their way to another ICC final. India is undefeated in Group A so far, winning against Bangladesh, Pakistan, and New Zealand. They maintained their dominance in the semi-final as well when they defeated Australia to reach the Champions Trophy final against New Zealand on March 9.
While there are still debates over his fitness, Rohit Sharma has been successful in leading India to greater heights on the international stage. It’s a big final again, but the team is hungry for yet another ICC trophy, and it was no different this time as well.
