The former Indian all-rounder Yusuf Pathan has come up with a very interesting answer when asked who is the better skipper between Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Both Kohli and Sharma are currently on the national duty on the English tour for the rescheduled Test followed by the T20I and ODI series.
Earlier, Virat Kohli was the Indian skipper across all formats. However, he decided to step down from the T20I captaincy following the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. Later, the Indian superstar also relinquished the ODI and Test captaincy as well. Subsequently, the BCCI appointed Rohit Sharma as the new Indian skipper across all formats.
Now, the Indian team is currently preparing for the English challenge in the fifth and final Test at the Edgbaston, scheduled to start on the 1st of July. In case you don’t know, India are leading the five-game series 2-1 after four games. Interestingly, Virat Kohli was the Indian captain in those four Tests. Now, it will be interesting to see how Team India responds under Rohit Sharma in the English conditions.
