AFP, Rajkot :
Rohit Sharma will lead India as the captain at this year’s Twenty20 (T20) World Cup (WC) in the United States and West Indies, a top official of the country’s cricket board said.
Rohit led India to the final at last year’s 50-over World Cup at home where they lost to Australia. India have not won a global title since the 2013 Champions Trophy.
“In the 2023 (final) at Ahmedabad, even though we did not win the World Cup after 10 straight wins, we won hearts,” said Jay Shah, secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), at a function to rename the Rajkot stadium late Wednesday.
