Ravi Shastri believes Rohit Sharma’s challenges as captain of Mumbai Indians “have doubled” in the past two years, leading to poor returns as a team.

Shastri said about Rohit’s captaincy on ESPNcricinfo –

“The resources that you had two or three years ago isn’t quite the same. The challenges as a captain might have doubled for him. The work as a captain would have doubled as opposed to two years ago when everything was nice, set – go out there and do the job.”

Shastri added – “And then comes the challenge of how do you get them [the team] going, how do you motivate that bunch, how do you create a combination, how do you see who is the best in that lot to fit in and deliver at a certain stage of the game.”
