‘The challenges as a captain might have doubled for him’, Shastri on Rohit Sharma

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.”
