5 Indian cricketers whose careers might be affected if Rohit Sharma becomes captain

Kuldeep Yadav

This might be a surprising name in this list but Kuldeep Yadav hasn’t enjoyed the same run under Rohit Sharma as he has under Virat Kohli. There’s absolutely no doubt that the chinaman has been a vital part of India’s white-ball success over the last couple of years. He is one player who has been consistently picking up wickets in the middle overs and has troubled the opposition.

However, that seems to be changing now. Kuldeep has struggled quite a bit this year. Moreover, under Rohit, he has always found himself on the bench. Despite the availability of Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep hasn’t played much under Rohit in the recent past.

The Mumbaikar seems to back the likes of Krunal Pandya and Yuzvendra Chahal to do the job in the 20-over format. Also, with the emergence of Rahul Chahar, we might get to see the young leggie in action a lot more. Hence, there is not a lot of room for spinners and thus, Kuldeep’s career might be affected if Rohit takes over as skipper.
