Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma has shown his calibre as a skipper after leading the franchise to five IPL titles, most by any team. MI and India batsman Suryakumar Yadav has hailed Rohit and his captaincy skills and has said that he has been doing an amazing job.
“I think he has been doing an amazing job and having 5 titles with Mumbai Indians is a proof of that. Result is in front of everyone,” Suryakumar said on Sports Today.
Surya who recently made his T20I debut for India against England added that Rohit is one of the most fun-loving cricketers when is off the field and has a lot of knowledge about the game.
“Off the field he is very different, he is very fun guy to be around. On the field everyone has seen him how he handles the situation and how he is there for everyone but off the field I think he is the most perfect guy to be around, he jokes around and even there he has a lot of knowledge to share to every cricketer out here. This is a very good point about him which makes him different.”
Yadav has been a mainstay at the Mumbai line-up for some time now, scoring a total of 1316 runs in the last three seasons at a mammoth strike rate of 135.
MI are the defending champions of the IPL at the moment having won the trophy in 2019 and 2020 editions respectively and the Rohit Sharma-led side will now be seeking to complete the hat trick of title wins this year.
MI begin the IPL 2021 campaign against RCB in Chennai on Friday.
