In a significant prelude to the Cricket World Cup 2023, Rohit Sharma’s Indian cricket team secured an emphatic victory, clinching the Asia Cup 2023 title in a convincing win over Sri Lanka. This triumph marked Rohit Sharma’s second Asia Cup title and his 10th overall victory as a captain, positioning him as one of the most successful captains in Asia Cup history. However, former India opener Gautam Gambhir issued a cautionary note, acknowledging Rohit’s captaincy prowess but raising concerns about the impending World Cup.

Captaincy Test Looms

Gambhir stated, “There was never a doubt about Rohit the captain. He won 5 IPL titles. Many didn’t even win once. But his real test will come in the next 15 days. You have your best 15-18 players in the dressing room now. If they cannot deliver they there will be question marks. After every World Cup, if the captain is unable to deliver then questions will be raised. Virat Kohli faced it. Rahul Dravid faced it in 2007. If India fail to deliver in 2023, then questions will be raised on Rohit’s captaincy.”

Confidence in Rohit's Leadership

India’s comprehensive victory over Sri Lanka, highlighted by a remarkable bowling performance from Mohammed Siraj, has bolstered the confidence of skipper Rohit Sharma ahead of the World Cup. Siraj’s figures of 6-21 contributed to Sri Lanka’s dismissal for a mere 50 runs in 15.2 overs, leading to a resounding 10-wicket victory in Colombo.

Indian bowlers, including pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and spinner Kuldeep Yadav, showcased their prowess throughout the 50-over tournament, serving as a valuable preparation for the upcoming ODI World Cup, scheduled to commence on October 5 in India.

Rohit Sharma expressed his satisfaction, stating, “It gives us a lot of confidence to come here and win a tournament like this.” He emphasized the team’s ability to rise to various challenges, adapting to different conditions and bowling styles. “We can take a lot of positives from the tournament, not just for one or two players but for the entire squad. They did their job,” Rohit added.
