On Saturday, February 19, the BCCI announced that Rohit has been named Team India’s Test captain, with the forthcoming Test series against Sri Lanka serving as his maiden assignment. He took over for Virat Kohli, who led the Indian cricket team to unprecedented heights in the longest format, becoming the most successful Indian Test captain of all time.
Hitman’s first T20I assignment as Team India’s full-time skipper was a three-match T20I series against the 2021 T20 World Cup runners-up, New Zealand, last November. Meanwhile, the recently finished One-Day International (ODI) series against the West Indies in Ahmedabad was his maiden ODI series as full-time leader. Rohit played a key role in India’s 3-0 victories over the Kiwis and Men in Maroon.
