‘If Rohit Sharma leaves the captaincy then…’ BCCI official gave a big statement on the future captain of Team India
The BCCI official said that Rohit is going to captain India in the World Cup this year, but we should plan what will happen next. We can’t wait to react after things happen.
After Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma took command of Team India in all formats. The team led by Rohit Sharma has won several bilateral series but India’s journey in multinational tournaments has been disappointing. The next challenge before Rohit will be to end the 10-year ICC trophy drought by winning Team India’s World Cup 2023. India last won an ICC event in the form of Champions Trophy in 2013. Rohit will be 36 years old by the end of World Cup 2023, in such a situation, there are talks that he can leave the captaincy from limited over format. If Rohit does this then who will be the next captain after him is the biggest question. The answer to this question has been given by a BCCI official recently.
Talking to News18, this official said that Rohit Sharma will lead the team till the World Cup, but the time has come that we will have to think of moving on from him. If Rohit leaves the captaincy after the 2023 World Cup, we should have a plan for that.
The BCCI official said, ‘As of now, Rohit is going to captain India in the World Cup this year, but we should plan about what will happen next. We can’t wait to react after things happen. We need to have a plan in case Rohit decides to quit the ODI format or relinquish the captaincy after the 2023 World Cup.

During this, the official suggested the name of Hardik Pandya, who is currently leading the T20 team in the presence of Rohit Sharma. He further said, ‘Hardik is doing well as captain. He is young and will only get better. For now, there is no better option than him to look after Rohit. Expressing confidence in him, maximum chances should be given.
Under the leadership of Rohit, Team India was expected to be successful in limited overs cricket because Mumbai Indians became champions 5 times under his leadership. Rohit Sharma had two big events in front of him as soon as he became the captain, T20 World Cup 2022 and World Cup 2023 to be held in India. India performed well under Rohit’s leadership in the bilateral series in the first year, but the team’s performance in the multinational tournament was disappointing. While Team India could not reach the finals in the Asia Cup, England registered a one-sided victory over India in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup. Now Rohit Sharma has the last chance to win the 2023 World Cup to the team this year.
