With the T20 World Cup later this yr in Australia and ODI World Cup subsequent yr looming massive, Agarkar feels the captain needs to be current with the group, one thing he believes labored for former skippers Kohli and MS Dhoni.
So, the problem for Rohit Sharma in my view – is to remain match and play all the pieces that’s there, from now to the World Cup in white-ball cricket, since you need the captain ? that was one in every of Virat Kohli’s strengths or MS Dhoni earlier than that, they hardly ever missed video games, and each have been very match, Agarkar mentioned.
Rohit had missed the Test collection in opposition to South Africa as a consequence of a left-hamstring harm.
He was later additionally compelled to skip the ODIs in opposition to the Proteas as he could not attain full health earlier than the choice committee introduced the group.
The hamstring has been a recurrent drawback which additionally compelled him to overlook the primary two Test matches in addition to the white-ball leg of the tour of Australia in 2020-21.
However, Rohit is again in-charge for the collection in opposition to West Indies that begins with ODIs in Ahmedabad from February 6.
