Former Indian wicketkeeper Saba Karim while talking to Khelneeti said that he was impressed by Rohit Sharma’s progress. He was named the white-ball and the red-ball skipper of the Indian team after Virat Kohli’s captaincy tenure came to a debatable end.

“It feels great to see Rohit Sharma’s progress. First, he gave excellent performances in white-ball cricket and he got to learn a lot from there. Along with that, it was in his mind that he has to prove himself as a Test batter.

“His confidence kept on increasing when he started doing that. Since he has become the full-time captain, it seems Rohit has realized that he belongs here, his contribution is extremely necessary both as captain and batter” said Karim on Rohit.

Saba Karin has also lauded Rohit Sharma for the way he communicates with his players. Even the various Indian players have spoken very highly of how Rohit supports his teammates and players within the squad.
