Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh has batted for Rohit Sharma’s captaincy has been under criticism. After India lost the semis of the T20 World Cup 2022 and the final of WTC 2023, the latter has been criticized. However, Singh, who was part of the T20 World Cup 2007 and ODI World Cup 2011 winning sides, has said that the criticisms have gobe overboard.

“I find that people are going a bit overboard… the way Rohit has been criticised. Cricket is a team sport and one individual cannot take you from one place to another,” Harbhajan told PTI ahead of India’s next Test assignment against the West Indies.

The right-arm off-spinner added that the team didn’t do well in the WTC final. However, Sharma shouldn’t be criticized alone as opined by Singh.

“Team India didn’t do well in the WTC final, and yes, you talk about that performance and move on from there. But it is unfair to criticise Rohit alone, that he is not scoring runs, putting on weight, not captaining well. I think he is a brilliant leader,” Harbhajan added.

Rohit Sharma commands a lot of respect: Harbhajan Singh

The two-time World Cup winner further added that he has watched Sharma closely as a player and captain. Apparently, both played together for India and Mumbai Indians for a long time. The Punjab player feels that the recent results shouldn’t be the only benchmark to judge him.

“I have played with him (Rohit) and watched him closely. He commands a lot of respect not only in the MI dressing room but also in the Indian dressing room. So I think it’s unfair to judge him on the basis of recent results. He will come good and we need to show faith in him and we need to support him rather than pinpointing that you are not doing this or that.”

Rohit has led the MI team to five IPL titles from 2013 to 2020.
