There had been a lot of talks around of Rohit Sharma replacing Virat Kohli as the captain of India in the shorter formats of Cricket. And as well be mentioned that Rohit’s record as a captain of a side in IPL has been far more superior to Virat Kohli, who has captained Royal Challengers Bangalore and have not a single title ever since. Due to on-field rests in the ongoing innings, Rohit has also captained India due to Virat Kohli being out of the field. His decisions than as a captain have also been better than the Indian Captain, as argued by many retired players of the game.
