Gautam Gambhir's Opinion on Rohit Sharma As Captain For The T20 World Cup Is "Whoever Is Not In Good Form..."
Nowadays, one of the big questions that is going around is: who should lead India at the T20 World Cup 2024? Since the 2022 T20 World Cup, Rohit Sharma hasn't played a T20I, while Hardik Pandya has increasingly looked like the one who has emerged as the front-runner to be skipper in the shortest format. However, Hardik Pandya has been injury-prone. Ahead of the India Tour of South Africa, if reports were to be believed, the BCCI selectors approached Rohit Sharma to be the T20I captain.
While Rohit Sharma took a break from the white-ball leg of the tour, he can still be eligible to lead India at the 2024 T20 World Cup. Gautam Gambhir has given a great take on the subject.
The 42-year-old former player opined that Rohit should lead the Indian team in the 2024 T20 World Cup if he is in good form.
Gautam Gambhir said in a podcast that "if Rohit Sharma is in good form, he should be leading in the T20 World Cup, or if he is not in good form, whoever is not in good form should not be picked for the T20 World Cup. Captaincy is a responsibility. First, you get yourself selected as a player, and then you're made captain. A captain should have a permanent position in the playing eleven, and the permanent place depends on the form."
