In addition to failing to match SA’s first innings score, Team India’s batting unit struggled in both innings. However the captain of India, Rohit Sharma, fell short of expectations.
After Virat Kohli, India’s former captain, resigned from the position following the team’s 2-1 loss to South Africa in the Test series, Rohit Sharma has proven to be an excellent leader. After being named the full-time white-ball captain of India late last year, Rohit was named the team’s Test captain ahead of the Sri Lanka series in February 2022.
India’s all-format leader since late 2021, Rohit, guided his country to the 2023 World Cup final, where they were cruelly defeated by six-time champions Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
The Indian cricket team’s explosive opener and skipper, Rohit Sharma, has made a name for himself in the sport’s history. Earlier this year, he became the 35th Indian to captain India in a Test Cricket. India has played 10 Test matches under Rohit, winning five and losing three. India advanced to the WTC final, but they were defeated by Australia in the previous round this year.
On March 4, 2022, Rohit played his first Test match as the team’s captain against Sri Lanka, their southern neighbours who had come to India for a two-match Test series and a three-match ODI series. India dominated that Test, winning by an innings and 222 runs, and then triumphed by a massive margin, winning the second Test by 238 runs.
However, against South Africa, India suffered their first innings loss under Rohit’s leadership, losing by an innings and thirty-two runs. India has only travelled for four Test matches when he was in charge.
