In cricket, it is important to guide a number of players and that&#8217;s where a leader fills in the void. In order to bring glory to the nation, these players need to work like a well-oiled machine and their engine has to be their leader. Since its inception, the gentleman&#8217;s game has seen some of the best cricketing stars leading their troupe.

Captaincy is a cumbersome task as the skipper has to keep all the individuals in the same loop. Indian cricket has seen some of the iconic cricketers leading their team. In this cricket frantic nation, many players have assumed the leadership role at different stages of their career whether it is for a country or a club. Particularly in India, there is a myth of assigning the captaincy role to the best player of the side.

Virat Kohli is the current skipper of Men in Blue and has already brought many laurels to the nation but there are some chinks in his armour, and it is visible during his stint as RCB skipper. Recently Bangalore&#8217;s failure to reach playoffs in the 12th edition of IPL has sparked a new debate of Rohit Sharma being a better skipper than Virat Kohli and there is some logic behind it.

Here we bring you five reasons why Rohit Sharma is a better skipper than Virat Kohli:

It is a no brainer that Virat Kohli is a cricketer who wears his heart on his sleeve, and it really encourages other players to follow him. He always fist pumps when he gets an important boundary in a tight run-chase or a wicket falls at a crucial juncture of the game. Aggression is a good emotion when shown in a correct measure but sometimes Kohli shows more of it which can be harmful to the team.

During the tie against KKR when Tim Southee was being belted by <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2019-dinesh-karthik-responds-to-andres-russells-remarks-of-unhealthy-team-atmosphere/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Andre Russell</strong></a> in the 19th over of the innings, Virat was quite angry and making gestures which can demoralize a bowler. Unlike Rohit, Kohli always shows his frustration on the bowlers when they bowl a poor over which can hamper their entire spell.

His emotions on the field show his passion for the game, but being the captain of the side he should balance it which will really help his teammates. Sometimes putting a hand on someone&#8217;s shoulder who is under pressure can work wonders which Rohit does all the time.

The current Indian skipper is an admirable cricketer, but cricket is a team sport where each player is to be trusted equally. While donning the blue jersey Virat always keeps faith on his players but surprisingly he forgets it while playing for the Bangalore franchise. After becoming the skipper of RCB, he has never had the same set of players for two consecutive seasons which will always result in failures in the long run.

In the current season, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2019-shimron-hetmyer-calls-time-spent-with-kohli-and-abd-a-great-learning-experience/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Shimron Hetmyer</strong></a> should have been the X-factor for Bangalore in middle-order but after a few bad outings, he was dropped. In the same scenario, Rohit has always trusted the core players, and the prime example is of Kieron Pollard&#8217;s inclusion in the team during IPL 2018 when he was going through a rough patch. In this season he has repaid the faith showed in him and has won matches for them single-handedly. Kohli should try to stick with a particular set of players, as some players will bloom after enough confidence is instilled in them.

Virat has been a successful leader for the Indian team, but having a close look at his captaincy style one can easily find out that he follows a set pattern in every game. In international ties, the quality players are able to repeat their magic on a regular basis but in IPL some of the domestic players will be inconsistent in their trade. Virat loves to use winning formula, but at some point, the opposition teams will work out the equation.

Cricket is a game of glorious uncertainties, and that&#8217;s why sometimes instinctive decisions may turn out be defining moments of a match. During the powerplays in the semi-final against CSK, Rohit chose to bowl spinners which paid dividends as the opposition lost the plot in the first six overs of the game.

In a similar situation against Mumbai, Virat was confused and took the advice of their bowling coach, Ashish Nehra who prompted him to go with Pawan Negi in the 19th over against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/hardik-pandya-will-play-a-big-role-in-world-cup-says-yuvraj-singh/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Hardik Pandya</strong></a>. The spinner leaked 22 runs in the over which cost RCB the game but initially, he was going to bowl Saini and he didn&#8217;t trust his own decision.

The Bangalore based franchise has always been a home to some of the superstars of the game. The Virat Kohli-led side is mostly dependent on star power to win games, and that&#8217;s why domestic talents have not prospered under his captaincy. Kohli has always used uncapped players in an ill-suited manner, as most of them are given limited opportunities and after a couple of bad outings, they are axed from the side to test out another talent.

The IPL has frequently carved out some great domestic talents and some of them have even represented the Men in Blue. Over the years, Mumbai Indians has produced some gems in the form of Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah, and some of the credit should go to Rohit Sharma as he provided them with enough chances to showcase their skills.

Unlike Kohli, the vice-captain of the Indian team gives a new player a longer rope and that&#8217;s why Mumbai Indians have been a successful team in the IPL tourney. In this season <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2019-mi-spinner-rahul-chahar-adjusted-his-bowling-as-per-the-generation-change/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Rahul Chahar</strong></a> played 12 games, but Washington Sundar played only 2 games which gives an idea of how Kohli utilizes his resources.

Virat is a driven cricketer and under his captaincy, India has become one of the most dominant forces in the cricketing world. While captaining Men in Blue Kohli always has MS Dhoni alongside him and that helps him in crunch situations, but in the RCB dugout, he looks like a lost child in desperate times. He is a great leader when things are going perfectly for him, but he is not a tactician who can change the course of a game with his innovative thinking.

Kohli has worked with some of the best cricketing brains in the circuit like Dhoni, Gary Kirsten, and Anil Kumble but has not picked anything from them. On the other side, Rohit has grasped a lot of things from MSD, Adam Gilchrist and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/sourav-ganguly-responds-to-rumours-of-ricky-ponting-becoming-india-coach/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Ricky Ponting</strong></a> which has made him a terrific leader. It is necessary to have a good cricketing brain to win titles and that&#8217;s why Kohli has a winning percentage of 45 in IPL while Rohit has a win rate of 60%.

In the history of IPL smart leaders like Shane Warne, Gilchrist, Dhoni, and Rohit have won IPL titles, but Kohli hasn&#8217;t won a single one and that tells a story.

There is no doubt that Virat Kohli is the ultimate player in the current Indian set-up but as a leader, he can pick up few things from his teammate Rohit Sharma which will benefit the Men in Blue and the RCB franchise immensely.

In this season <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2019-mi-spinner-rahul-chahar-adjusted-his-bowling-as-per-the-generation-change/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Rahul Chahar</strong></a> played 12 games, but Washington Sundar played only 2 games which gives an idea of how Kohli utilizes his resources.</p>

<p>Virat is a driven cricketer and under his captaincy, India has become one of the most dominant forces in the cricketing world. While captaining Men in Blue Kohli always has MS Dhoni alongside him and that helps him in crunch situations, but in the RCB dugout, he looks like a lost child in desperate times. He is a great leader when things are going perfectly for him, but he is not a tactician who can change the course of a game with his innovative thinking.</p>
<p>Kohli has worked with some of the best cricketing brains in the circuit like Dhoni, Gary Kirsten, and Anil Kumble but has not picked anything from them. On the other side, Rohit has grasped a lot of things from MSD, Adam Gilchrist and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/sourav-ganguly-responds-to-rumours-of-ricky-ponting-becoming-india-coach/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Ricky Ponting</strong></a> which has made him a terrific leader. It is necessary to have a good cricketing brain to win titles and that&#8217;s why Kohli has a winning percentage of 45 in IPL while Rohit has a win rate of 60%.</p>
<p>In the history of IPL smart leaders like Shane Warne, Gilchrist, Dhoni, and Rohit have won IPL titles, but Kohli hasn&#8217;t won a single one and that tells a story.</p>
<p>There is no doubt that Virat Kohli is the ultimate player in the current Indian set-up but as a leader, he can pick up few things from his teammate Rohit Sharma which will benefit the Men in Blue and the RCB franchise immensely.</p>
