Jay Shah on Rohit Sharma: Former Indian captain Rohit Sharma’s reaction went viral on social media after Jay Shah called him the Indian captain. In Indian cricket, Rohit Sharma’s name has now become more than just a player; it feels more like a successful era.
Jay Shah On Rohit Sharma, Praises Captaincy
Even though he is no longer the official captain of India, his presence and influence are still clearly visible in the team. Recently, during an event, ICC Chairman Jay Shah addressed Rohit as “India’s captain,” to which Rohit was seen smiling. This clearly shows that captaincy is not determined by the position alone, but by the mindset and actions.
Captaincy Gone, But Leadership Still Remains
Rohit Sharma took over the full-time ODI captaincy of India in December 2021. He then led the team in a total of 56 ODI matches, of which India won 42 games, which is a remarkable record in itself. During his captaincy, India won the Asia Cup and the Champions Trophy in 2025. In addition, India reached the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup but unfortunately lost the final to Australia.
In T20 cricket, Rohit has been India’s most successful captain. He captained the national side in 62 T20 matches, winning 49 of them. His win percentage was more than 79 percent. Winning the 2024 T20 World Cup is considered the most special moment of his career.
After that, Jay Shah also reminded everyone that after the 2023 World Cup defeat, Rohit had promised that the team would win major tournaments in the future, and he fulfilled that promise.
Hitman Back In Shape
A video of Rohit Sharma recently went viral on social media. He was seen practicing in Mumbai ahead of the three-match ODI series against New Zealand, which begins on January 11th. In the video, Rohit appeared fitter, leaner, and faster than before. He was seen hitting powerful sixes, which greatly excited his fans.
During the event, Jay Shah stated that a true leader is one who leads the team to victory, not just someone who wears the captain’s armband. He credited Rohit with leading the team to two major ICC titles. This highlights Rohit’s mindset and his impact on the team.
