In the Asia Cup 2018, India’s current captain Virat Kohli was rested while Rohit Sharma was handed over the captaincy for the tournament. Rohit led the team to lift the trophy after beating Bangladesh by three wickets.
As this year too, there so much cricket lined up because of the postponement amid coronavirus and Kohli can be given rest too. Thus, if the scenario remains the same, Virat’s deputy Rohit Sharma will be again given the captaincy in the upcoming Asia Cup.
The mega event is scheduled in September this year. The 32-year-old captaincy will benefit some while some surely have to face disadvantages.
Here, we have mentioned four players who are likely to face difficulties if indeed Rohit Sharma leads India against its neighbours.
Here are four players who could suffer if Rohit Sharma dons the captain’s hat at Asia Cup 2020:
4) Prithvi Shaw
Prithvi Shaw will have to face some tough times during the tournament. In the last tour of New Zealand, the opening batsman gained the place in the Indian team after Shikhar Dhawan was ruled out because of injury.
However, the youngster could not impress with his innings.
As usual, he hit big boundaries and lost his wicket in the bouncy pitches of New Zealand. With Shikhar Dhawan getting fully fit, Shaw might get fewer chances or might have to bench in the whole tournament if in the squad.
