Asia Cup 2022: Rating captains based on captaincy in the tournament
While Sri Lanka's Dasun Shanaka was spot on with his decisions, other captains weren't quite up to the mark.
Rohit Sharma - 6/10
Rohit Sharma was decent but having such a heavy resume, people expected better from the team. Random rotation and no proper backing is a huge reason why India failed to win two of their three super four matches. The sudden exclusion of Dinesh Karthik and inclusion of Deepak Hooda raised some serious questions without any answers.
Even when Hooda was picked in the XI, Rohit didn’t use him for majority of the matches. The fans left confused about his match planning as Dinesh Karthik as a finisher could have been India’s way to the final. The skipper also was reluctant to pick Axar Patel, who could have been a direct replacement for injured Ravindra Jadeja.
The team after all won three of their five matches but not qualifying for the finals even after having a star-studded team is a big failure. However, the new formula of India to attack the opposition right from the first ball is a good move from the captain.
