Wasim Jaffer Suggests A New India Captain For 2023 Cricket World Cup, Read Unbelievable Reactions From Fans

Virat Kohli remains one of the most successful Indian captains. He led India to maiden Test and ODI series in Australia, but was unlucky in the ICC tournaments -- a semi-final exit in the World Cup 2019 and Champions Trophy final defeat two years before that.

Few days after India's 18-run defeat to New Zealand in the semis, former opener Wasim Jaffer, regarded as one of the finest batsmen India have ever produced, said that Rohit Sharma should lead India in the next ODI World Cup in 2023.

It's high time @BCCI should consider @ImRo45 as a captain for Indian ODI side bec @imVkohli clearly failed he is not tactical nd his captaincy moves are worst.

Yes hes more a thinking brain and street smart more like Dhoni that Odi demands. Virat is more aggressive and persistent attuned to test cricket.

But who hears? All are hearing in one voice of shastri kohli pair.

Sir, Brave point kept, Rohit is calm and strategic when compared to Kohli who is a consistent batsman put very impulsive and over expressive and vulnerable as a leader or captain. Rohit unmatched success in IPl as a captain and handling of all rounders speaks volumes....

Yes This is the perfect time to give Rohit Sharma a white ball captaincy, at least T20Is considering the two T20 world cup in next two years.

Rohit, who has lead Mumbai Indians to an unprecedented fourth Indian Premier League titles before the World Cup, is often hailed as a natural antithesis to Kohli, who is known for aggression.

In Kohli's absence, Rohit led India to Asia Cup and Nidahas Trophy triumphs. These two tournaments hardly come close to the World Cup or Champions Trophy, in every aspect; but fans have seemed to have a distinct leadership quality in Rohit.
