Mohammed Shami heaps praises on Rohit Sharma's unique leadership style
Indian cricket team's ace pacer Mohammed Shami has shed light on Rohit Sharma's unique leadership style. During an award ceremony, Shami emphasized that Rohit provides his players with ample freedom to express themselves on the field. This approach not only fosters confidence but also alleviates unnecessary pressure. "The best thing about Rohit is that he gives you freedom," stated Shami at the event.
Rohit's subtle communication style
Shami further revealed that Rohit has a unique way of communicating his expectations. If a player fails to meet these standards, Rohit's subtle reactions convey his message without the need for words. "However, if you don't meet his expectations, his reactions start to show a bit," Shami explained. This non-verbal communication style is part of Rohit's leadership strategy on the field.
Rohit's T20 World Cup triumph
Shami's revelations about Rohit's captaincy come after the latter led India to a historic ICC T20 World Cup victory. Rohit is now the second Indian skipper, following MS Dhoni, to have achieved this feat. The triumphant win was secured against South Africa in an exciting final held in Barbados. This victory ended India's long wait for another T20 World Cup title since Dhoni's 2007 triumph.
Jurel also appreciated Rohit's efforts
Dhruv Jurel, who has represented India in three Tests and two T20Is, also highlighted how Rohit goes the extra mile to make young players feel at ease. In an interview with Sports Tak, he said that Rohit always told him, 'If you need any help just come over, I don't have any problem.' This supportive attitude from the captain made Jurel feel comfortable when his name came up for Test cricket.
Shami en route to a potential comeback
As per an Indian Express report, Shami is en route to a potential comeback during the impending Test series against New Zealand at home. The 33-year-old seamer has been sidelined since undergoing ankle surgery in February. Despite his steady recovery, his participation in the upcoming Bangladesh series remains uncertain as he continues to work on regaining his fitness.
