There can be no doubting the ability of Rohit Sharma as captain in white-ball cricket, be it in ODIs, T20Is or the IPL. His records and achievements speak for themselves. There have been nothing but rave reviews from experts as well as fellow players of the manner in which he has led various teams and handled players. But what Rohit faces next is a massive challenge as he becomes India’s 35th Test captain on Friday.

Mumbai experience

Not that Rohit is a raw hand in leading a team in the longest format. He has led Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy in his early days when he was not too busy with international commitments. It was way back in November 2012 that he captained Mumbai for the first time against Rajasthan when pacer Ajit Agarkar suffered an injury.
