Vikram Rathour Praises Rohit Sharma for his Captaincy During Finals of T20 World Cup 2024

Former Indian batting coach Vikram Rathour, who was a part of team India in the T20 World Cup support staff, gave his praise to Rohit Sharma for the tactics Rohit planned for every match. He said that Rohit might have forgot about his decision post toss, but he never forgets the game plan. He also stated that Rohit used to spend a lot of time in strategies and meetings for the team.

“He might forget whether he has decided to bat or bowl at the toss, or his phone and iPad in the team bus but he never forgets his gameplan. He is very good at it and is a very shrewd tactician,” Rathour said on the podcast “Find a Way with Taruwar Kohli”.

Team India won the T20 World Cup 2024 as they defeated South Africa and broke the 11 year drought of an ICC trophy on June 29,2024, in Barbados.

“His first quality is that as a batsman, he is a phenomenal player. I think he is someone who understands his game really well. He always have a clear game plan.”

“He is tactically very good as a captain. In the T20 World Cup final, he finished Bumrah’s over early. A lot of people must have questioned that decision but that decision put us in the situation, where 16 was needed in the last over. His tactical decisions on the field are spot on. Sitting outside It surprises you as a coach as well. We from outside sometimes think what he is doing but then you realise what he has done after a while,” he concluded.

Following the T20 World Cup win, Rohit announced his retirement from T20Is . he recently appeared in the ODIs against Sri Lanka. Now Rohit is also about to feature in the Test series against Bangladesh.
