Rishabh Pant, Yashpreet Bumra, Ravichandran Ashwin … the country’s cricket board had a few options to lead India in Tests. But after the T20s and ODIs, the Indian cricket board has chosen Rohit Sharma to replace Virat Kohli as the Test captain.. . . . .
Rohit made a good start to the Test team by beating Sri Lanka in March. However, Yuvraj Singh could not accept the decision to make Rohit the captain of the Test team. It was an emotional decision for the former India all-rounder.

Yuvraj talks about Rohit’s Test captaincy in ‘Home of Heroes’ program of Indian media ‘Sports 18’. The former India all-rounder has played for the Mumbai Indians in the IPL under Rohit. At that time, he saw Rohit’s leadership style and thinking very closely. Yuvraj also said that he likes Rohit’s leadership, ‘He is a great leader. I played under his leadership in Mumbai Indians. The thinking is very good. He is also good as a captain.
Though Rohit’s leadership and thinking are good, why is Yuvraj calling it an emotional decision to make him the captain of the Test team? He also gave that explanation on the News18 program, ‘(Even then) I think making him the captain of the Test team is an emotional decision. Rohit will lead India in Test cricket as long as he is fit, the BCCI announced. But you can’t make someone the captain of a Test team just because you are fit. He got hurt a lot. ‘

Yuvraj also gave another explanation as to why Rohit should not be made the Test captain at the moment. “It will also put pressure on him. It’s been a couple of years since he started opening innings in Test cricket. He is playing well. In Test cricket, let him focus on his batting. Hope she enjoys it. However, leading the team from the field for five days is not an easy task. Yuvraj has also given a piece of advice to 35-year-old Rohit, who is getting more and more injured, saying, “Whatever age Rohit is, he should take more care of his body.”
