There have been several talks about Rohit Sharma being made the Indian limited-overs captain after the recent Asia Cup triumph. Rohit Sharma, the skipper, brings a sense of calm into the side. His approach is somewhat similar to that of former skipper <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/vijay-hazare-trophy-2018-19-ms-dhoni-to-grace-his-presence-for-jharkhand/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>MS Dhoni</strong></a> and he is a brilliant tactician.

Rohit led the side beautifully in the tournament and held onto his nerves in crunch situations. The added responsibility also got the best out of him with the bat. With the Asia Cup triumph, Rohit has won two major titles this year including the Nidahas Trophy in March. The Indian vice-captain has proven credentials as the leader of the side and could be an option to lead the Indian limited-overs teams full-time.

Also, the fact that he has won three <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/category/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Indian Premier League (IPL)</strong></a> titles while being at the helm for the Mumbai Indians (MI) also makes his case stronger.

While Virat Kohli hasn&#8217;t done much wrong either, here are the five reasons as to why Rohit could prove to be a better option:

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-241329" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Rohit-Sharma-2.jpg" alt="Rohit Sharma Mumbai Indians" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-241329" class="wp-caption-text">MI captain Rohit Sharma. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Rohit Sharma has got a great experience of leading a side. Right in his maiden IPL season as the skipper, he led the Mumbai Indians to title glory. In the same year, he won the Champions League T20. His leadership skill was brought under heavy scrutiny when his side won only one out of the first six games in 2015. However, he helped the side stage a terrific comeback and went onto lift the title for the second time. In 2017, in a low-scoring final, Rohit brought his best captaincy to the fore and helped MI clinch their third IPL title.

The 31-year-old has led India in 17 international games thus far including the ODIs and T20Is. Out of these, he won 15 and lost only 2. After losing his first ever game as India&#8217;s captain against <strong>Sri Lanka</strong>, Rohit bounced back hard and went on to win the next six matches until he lost against the same opposition in the Nidahas Trophy. His ability to embrace defeats and come back strong makes him quite unique.

2. Beast with the bat while leading the side

The Mumbai lad has reinvented himself after he was promoted up the order to open the innings. This move worked wonders for him as well as the team. After more than four years since this move was made, another move proved to be a landmark in his career. While he was the interim skipper of the side, Rohit Sharma batted with a lot of responsibility and determination just like he does with the Mumbai Indians.

He takes it in his stride to score the crucial runs to put the team in a better position. In the 17 limited-overs matches where he led the team, the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/rohit-sharma-set-to-don-the-mumbai-jersey-in-vijay-hazare-trophy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Mumbai</strong></a> batsman has amassed 880 runs at an average of 62.85 including the highest score of 208*. In ODIs alone, he averages 106.8 which is phenomenal for an opener scoring 534 runs in eight outings including two centuries. As far as the T20Is are concerned, his average of 40 is more than decent as well.

3. Gives Virat Kohli the freedom to concentrate on his batting

(Photo by Gareth Copley/Getty Images)</figcaption>

Over the last two years or so, the Indian skipper <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/india-vs-windies-case-filed-against-the-man-who-took-a-selfie-with-virat-kohli/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Virat Kohli</strong></a> has been a work-horse. He leads the side across all the formats. Add to it his importance to the side with the willow in hand. We have seen the workload taking a heavy toll on his body in recent times. He missed playing county cricket ahead of the England series due to an injury and had to be rested for the Asia Cup.

Giving the captaincy over to Rohit Sharma in white ball cricket will ease the burden on him. It has been a while since Rohit featured in a Test match and is unlikely to make it into the final crop in the near future. Hence, it is a win-win situation for both the players if the captaincy is shared. It will give an immense mental relief to Virat Kohli and he can focus even more on his batting.

4. Calm personality and gets the best out of the players

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-228593" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Rohit-Sharma-2.jpg" alt="Rohit Sharma of India" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-228593" class="wp-caption-text">Rohit Sharma.

If Virat Kohli is the north pole, Rohit Sharma is the south pole in terms of captaincy. These two follow a completely different approach while leading a side. While the former is very aggressive and gets frustrated if things don&#8217;t go his way for a long period, the latter doesn&#8217;t freak out a bit even in the worst of situations. Yet again, the IPL is a testimony for this and the match against Hong Kong in the Asia Cup is the latest example.

When the Hong Kong openers stunned the fraternity with an unbelievable fightback, Rohit Sharma was as cool as he usually is. Although he vented out his frustrations at times, not once did he let it take over his teammates&#8217; emotions. He backed the young <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/khaleel-ahmed-discloses-how-ms-dhonis-advice-helped-him-get-his-first-wicket/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Khaleel Ahmed</strong></a> after the initial hammering and got him to pick three wickets. “As a captain, it’s my duty to know the strengths of my players and read their mind, and find out what they can do for the team,” Rohit had said during the Asia Cup.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-166909" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Rohit-Sharma.jpg" alt="Rohit Sharma" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-166909" class="wp-caption-text">Indian cricketer Rohit Sharma (Photo by Tharaka Basnayaka/NurPhoto via Getty Images)</figcaption>

When you have a close look at Rohit while he leads the side, he always tries to stay ahead of the game. This was a skill which he observed in successful captains like Ricky Ponting, MS Dhoni, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/india-favourites-win-2019-world-cup-believes-stephen-fleming/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Stephen Fleming</strong></a> and others. Seldom does he lets the situations take over his instincts which is a great trait of a leader.

Rohit Sharma has got this special ability to sketch a batsman&#8217;s dismissal while he is right on the field. He doesn&#8217;t need to spend a lot of hours on the drawing board and is always ready with two substitute plans in case the first doesn&#8217;t work. He likes keeping things simple which prevents too much of complications. Also, he is not shy of taking an advice or two from the other players even if they are junior to him. This is one of the traits that has made him quite successful.

Five reasons why Rohit Sharma is a better limited-overs captain

Here are five reasons as to why Rohit Sharma will make a better captain than Virat Kohli in limited-overs cricket for India.
