NEW DELHI, Feb 4: Former pacer Ajit Agarkar reckons the biggest challenge for India’s new white-ball skipper Rohit Sharma is to remain fit ahead of T20 and ODI World Cup scheduled over the next 24 months.
Rohit was appointed skipper after Virat Kohli stepped down as captain from T20Is and was removed from the leadership role in ODIs.
“I think it’s a good thing and the right thing to do – to have one captain for white-ball format and now Rohit actually can fly,” Agrakar said.
With the T20 World Cup later this year in Australia and ODI World Cup next year looming large, Agarkar feels the captain should be present with the team, something he believes worked for former skippers Kohli and MS Dhoni.
