Former India cricketer Suresh Raina has praised India captain Rohit Sharma for giving chances to youngsters in international cricket, likening his approach to that of former captain MS Dhoni. Raina stated that Rohit is going in the right direction and is the next MS Dhoni.
Dhoni, known as one of India’s most successful captains, led the team to victory in all ICC trophies during his captaincy. He was also known for giving opportunities to young players, similar to Rohit.
Under Rohit’s captaincy, India recently won the Test series against England, where he provided opportunities to several debutants like Sarfaraz Khan, Dhurv Jurel, and Akash Deep.
“Rohit Sharma is the next MS Dhoni, he has done well, giving a lot of chances to youngsters the way Dhoni did. I played a lot of cricket under Dhoni – Rohit is going in the right direction, he is a brilliant captain,” said Raina to TOI.
However, despite his success as captain, Rohit-led India has not yet won an ICC trophy. India is gearing up for the upcoming T20 World Cup, scheduled to start in June this year, to be held in the USA and West Indies.
