Rohit Sharma's captaincy has been under constant scanner after India's defeat in the World Test Championship final against Australia. He has failed to get Team India the ICC trophy on two occasions. After this, there is a lot of talk on the search for a new option as the captain of the Indian team. Many people believe that instead of Rohit, a young player should be given the command of the Test team, and can lead the Indian team to the title in the 2025 World Test Championship. Meanwhile, former Australian captain Michael Clarke has supported Rohit Sharma. The 2015 World Cup-winning captain said a player's worth should not be judged by one match.
Clarke said "I still have faith in Rohit, I think he is a good captain. I like his attacking approach, he is as positive as he looks. He has had many successes as a captain, including Five times IPL titles are also included. Just because India could not win the World Test Championship, it does not mean that Rohit cannot lead India. You are forgetting that India reached the World Test Championship final for the second time in a row, It shows how India has played Test cricket in the last four years. It is a very important time and India should look for stability in their team as the ODI World Cup is also around the corner."
Michael Clarke believes that reaching the World Test Championship for the second time in a row is a big achievement in itself. He said "Rohit has won Test series against Australia in India since taking over the captaincy and has also improved as a batsman, even if it was a century in the last series. Losing a final doesn't make him a bad captain." Nor is it easy for India, a bad team, to reach the final for the second time in a row. This means that India was the only team to do consistently well in the last four years. To do so in Test cricket is commendable and I would urge You should keep all these things in mind before taking any decision of Karunga."
Michael Clarke is also very excited about the Ashes. Clarke said "The Ashes have also got off to a great start, with both teams playing very good Test cricket, and that is to be expected in such a great series. England have been consistent and Australia need to know how to fight back." It's going to be a great series and I'm rooting for Australia.
