Wasim Jaffer says Rohit Sharma should have kept MI captaincy

Former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer said Rohit Sharma should have remained captain of Mumbai Indians rather than handing over to Hardik Pandya. Jaffer said the decision to replace Rohit with Shubman Gill as India's ODI captain was understandable but the baton should have passed after the 2027 World Cup. He said when a player of Rohit Sharma's calibre is available, he should lead. Jaffer added that Gill has done well but Rohit deserved to continue until the next ODI World Cup. Rohit has scored 604 runs in 12 ODI innings this year at an average of 50.33, including two centuries. He will lead India in the upcoming five-match ODI series against New Zealand starting November 4.
