New Delhi: MS Dhoni captained in 6 T20 World Cups i.e. 2007, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2016, while India was the world champion in one World Cup. Under Dhoni's captaincy, India played two ODI World Cups, while winning the 2011 World Cup title. Whenever India became champion, the blame was placed on Dhoni, but he was never called a villain for losing in any season. When it comes to the 2014 T20 World Cup, Yuvraj Singh is definitely remembered as the villain, who, contrary to his image, played a slow inning of 11 runs in 21 balls. That was also a period when the captain was considered a hero and Yuvraj Singh and Gautam Gambhir, the on-paper heroes of the 2007 T20 and 2011 World Cup finals, got less credit. Similarly, Kapil Dev is seen as the hero of the 1983 World Cup, even though cricket is a team game.Entire team out for 46 runs, 5 batsmen under-10, so why is Rohit the only villain?
All the things written above mean only one line – if the captain was a hero at that time then why is the credit for victory divided today? If the Indian team wins, everyone is given credit. There is discussion about the aggressive attitude of coach Gautam Gambhir. Every moment of Virat Kohli is counted. If Ravindra Jadeja becomes Sir Jadeja then Ashwin becomes golden hand. Well, coming to the point. When Team India wins, everyone gets credit, but when it loses, why is Rohit Sharma alone called the villain? If it is also accepted that his role as captain increases, then this also applies to the credit for the victory.
Being shown inferior by comparison with MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli
When Team India was out for just 46 runs against New Zealand, Rohit Sharma's critics became hyperactive. On social media, comparisons were made on the captaincy of Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni in Tests held at home ground and an attempt was made to show that how good captains they were, Rohit Sharma is not able to give the same results, but on Hitman. Before pointing fingers, they should also understand that a single New Zealand player did not score 400 runs, nor was Team India all out for 46 just because of one decision by Rohit Sharma. Every specialist batsman was responsible for this.
Is it only the captain who decides the toss?
Virat Kohli was out on zero while KL Rahul and Sarfaraz Khan also did not hit any arrow. Apart from Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin, who were the X-factor in batting in the last few years, Rishabh Pant also failed. It was the responsibility of each of them to score runs. Stay on the field and support the team as per the situation, but that did not happen. If it is also assumed that the decision to bat after winning the toss in overcast conditions was of captain Rohit Sharma alone (usually this does not happen. This decision is taken only after a team meeting with the team's support staff, coach and senior players), then The number one team in the ICC Test rankings should also be prepared to perform in such conditions.
If this is the situation in India, what will happen in SENA?
Similar pitches are available in SENA i.e. South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia. This is how fast bowlers get help. This is the reason why the record of the Indian team is not very good in these countries. If every player of the team was prepared for such a situation, the team would not have lost in such a shameful manner despite one or two players getting out early. Nor would we be discussing today who is the real villain of the team's defeat? If India lost 10 wickets for 46 runs, the credit for it also goes to New Zealand's fast bowlers, so in this context, our pacers bowled worse than them. You can also call him a villain. If New Zealand scores 400+ then you can make the batsmen the villains, but to what extent is it right to blame only the captain for a decision which is hardly his alone.
That's why Sunil Gavaskar and Sanjay Manjrekar batted for Rohit!
This is the reason why when Team India wins, the great Sunil Gavaskar wants to give full credit to Rohit Sharma. He knows that after the defeat, Rohit Sharma will also be made the villain. When Rohit Sharma accepts his mistake and in a way takes responsibility for being bundled out for 46 runs, another former Mumbai cricketer and commentator Sanjay Manjrekar praises him. Explain his statement. He praises that Rohit Sharma did not let the team feel embarrassed after getting out for 46 runs. He did not show his back. He himself came forward. Well, now that two more Tests are to be played, it is expected that like the defeat in the Bengaluru Test, 100% credit for India's victory also goes to Rohit's account.
