According to reports from the Indian Express, the Indian selectors have backed Rohit’s leadership, citing his tactical acumen and leadership experience as key factors in the decision. His ability to manage pressure, rotate bowlers effectively, and set precise field placements impressed the BCCI. Rohit’s captaincy during the Champions Trophy, where he shuffled the spinners brilliantly to stifle opposition batters, played a crucial role in the board’s decision to continue with him at the helm.
Jasprit Bumrah, who captained in Rohit’s absence, has been hampered by recurring injuries. Given these limitations, the selectors see Rohit as the best available option to lead the team in the series against England.
