Ex-India batter urges Rohit Sharma's reappointment as ODI captain
A former Indian cricket player named Manoj Tiwary thinks that Rohit Sharma should be the captain of the Indian cricket team's one-day international (ODI) matches again.
This is because the current captain, Shubman Gill, has not done well recently.
India lost a series at home against New Zealand, which hasn't happened in a long time.
Rohit Sharma was the captain before and led the team to win a big tournament called the Champions Trophy.
Tiwary believes that Rohit should be given another chance to lead the team.
Manoj Tiwary urges Rohit Sharma's reappointment as India's ODI captain.
India lost their first home ODI series against New Zealand in over three decades under Shubman Gill.
Gill also lost India's first series in Australia 2-1 in October.
Rohit Sharma led India to the Champions Trophy victory in 2023.
Tiwary questions the decision to move on from Rohit Sharma after his successful leadership.
