This ended the almost four -year term of office of the 38 -year -old as Captain Odi as an Indian team enters the new era. When Karthik, back to Instagram, posted a lengthy video to praise and thanked Rohit for his time as a team captain.
Karthik said that Rohit has always led from front in key situations, and this can be seen with the recent India results in ICC events.
“Rohit Sharma. Thank you very much. You were a phenomenal captain tactically cunning, but most importantly, very, very friendly and came out with everyone and made them feel so comfortable. But for me the heritage you left as a captain.
“Sometimes we took a step back, but you said,” I think we have to push forward, put more pressure on the opponent, risk more risks, and you didn’t let anyone else. “I think you started it with a bat when you said in big matches,” I’m going harder, “and that required skill.
“2024 World Cup campaign T20 undefeated, champion trophies undefeated. 2023, the finals. This is excellent. And even then you can see the effects. Asia Cup undefeated with a young team.
“I hope you are proud of your way”
Rohit led India in 56 matches and won 42 of them and Karthik appreciated this record and said that the whole country was proud of its achievements.
“With the bat during your work as Captain Odi, you average 52. And you won 42 out of the 56 matches you led. What amazing record. All good things, as they say, have to end. Well, I really hope this way and you want to be very proud because all India when you watched you led this team.”
“It was just a very beautiful way I was part of it, and you have achieved special things. I hope you are very, very satisfied with your way. It was great. It was the one that is pleased but most importantly, I wish all the best for what you do in the future.
The new chapter Rohit as an ordinary player will begin on October 19, when India accepts Australia in three ODI games.
