Harbhajan Singh supported Team India captain Rohit Sharma

Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh believes that Rohit Sharma needs full support from the team management in the coming months. Harbhajan believes that people are overly critical of Rohit’s captaincy and it is important to provide him support. Rohit has faced criticism from fans and former cricketers, including the legendary Sunil Gavaskar, who expressed dissatisfaction with his leadership during the World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia.

In an interview with a news agency, Harbhajan Singh said that the amount of criticism Rohit Sharma has been subjected to is excessive and a captain cannot be solely responsible for the success of the team. PTI quoted Harbhajan as saying, “I think people are going too far…the way Rohit has been criticized. Cricket is a team sport and one person can’t take you from place to place.” Can go.”

Having played with Rohit Sharma and observed him closely, Harbhajan emphasized that Rohit commands a lot of respect not only in the dressing room of Mumbai Indians but also in the Indian team. He believed that it was unfair to judge Rohit only on the basis of recent results and urged the people that they should have faith in the skipper and support him.

Harbhajan on past captains

Harbhajan also pointed out how all the previous captains of the Indian team got immense support from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and influential administrators.

While Sourav Ganguly relied heavily on the support of Jagmohan Dalmiya, Mahendra Singh Dhoni had the full support of N Srinivasan throughout his captaincy tenure. Similarly, Vinod Rai, former Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) and head of the Committee of Administrators (CoA), was very vocal in his support for Virat Kohli.

“Rohit must be getting support from the BCCI. I don’t know how much support he will be getting (though). That kind of support will help him take the right kind of decision at the right time. He will get that freedom if he wants to.” There is support. There should be support for Rohit like the BCCI has given to all its captains,” Harbhajan said.
