Rohit Sharma, the captain of India, talked candidly about leading the team and his leadership responsibilities for the national team.
On Friday, India captain Rohit Sharma talked candidly about leading the team and his leadership responsibilities for the national team. He said that one of his goals as captain is to instill confidence and faith in the teammates. The India captain, speaking at a function in Mumbai on Friday, expressed his appreciation for the many aspects of the job, such as managing players’ personal lives off the field and making tactical decisions on the field. According to Rohit, he makes an effort to speak with each player personally because, as a leader, you have a duty to treat everyone fairly and seriously.
“Getting everyone to follow instructions is arguably the hardest thing a leader has to do. because they have a distinct mindset and are motivated to pursue their own goals. Since it’s a team sport and game, that’s what we strive to discuss with everyone when they arrive. My goal is to instill in the players a sense of autonomy and significance, emphasizing their significance to me. You are so valuable to me that you can win games, it doesn’t matter whether you only play ten balls at No. 6 or No. 7.
Just giving them more self-confidence is all that’s needed. Because you need the greatest effort from all eleven of them. Everyone must contribute to the group’s goal. At a Leo1, Mastercard, and NSDL event, Rohit Sharma stated.
“I attempt to visit each player’s room alone, strike up a conversation, and have dinner. The leaders are idolized by them. There will be tension on the team if I am not available to them for a conversation or to spend time with them. Trying to treat everyone fairly and giving them importance is what matters most. Give them a clear understanding of their roles, the Indian captain urged.
It is my responsibility to intervene if they are considering being let go. I then need to work on gaining more self-assurance. It’s about instilling in them the confidence and faith that I must carry out my leader’s instructions, no matter what. I make an effort to concentrate on those things. It’s a challenging job,” he said.
Regarding his position as the team’s opener, Rohit stated, “I prefer to be placed in settings and conditions that are a little challenging. I’ve always desired constant challenge. Starting is the hardest part since you never know what will happen.
You can’t get confidence from anyplace; it has to come from within, and that’s where my pregame training begins. I have to practice the shot I want to play in the first over. To become more confident, I need to perfect that shot.”
Regarding the current five-match Test series between India and England, the hosts lost in Hyderabad for the first time in ten years as the visitors overpowered the Rohit-led team with 196 runs from Ollie Pope and a terrific performance (seven wickets on Day 4) from debutant Tom Hartley.
But India answered in Vizag, winning by 106 runs to even the five-match series at 1-1. The action now moves to Rajkot for the third Test, which begins on February 15, with the five-match series tied at one.
