Since the Cricket World Cup 2023 final heartbreak, India captain Rohit Sharma<\/a> will return to international cricket for the first time, leading the Indian team in the 2-match Test series against South Africa. While Rohit and several other Indian cricketers are expected to be still a little heartbroken over what happened against Australia in the World Cup final, Rohit will be a man in the spotlight over multiple affairs that have transpired in the past few weeks. As there remains a lack of clarity over Rohit’s future in the Indian team, former New Zealand pacer Simon Doull has called him the ‘most selfless cricketer’ he has seen in a long time.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the start of the Test series, Doull couldn’t stop lauding Rohit for how he has led the Indian team, becoming the most selfless version of himself.<\/p>\n

“It will be about tempering his game a little bit. The one thing I have observed about Rohit Sharma in the last 10-18 months is that he has probably been the most selfless Indian cricketer I have seen in a long, long time. He has done everything he possibly could for his team to win. He made this team, he played in a certain way to allow the others in the team to be able to play the way they play, in white-ball cricket in particular,” Doull told Star Sports after India won the ODI series on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Doull also feels Rohit is no longer just a good white-ball captain. The Kiwi cricketer-turned-commentator sees new and improved leadership qualities in the Hitman.<\/p>\n

“In the World Cup, we saw that he set the tone at the top of the order, which allowed the middle order to play the way they played. So, it’s a slight change for him, not too much. I still want him to be that aggressive Rohit Sharma. We do see it in Test matches,” he added.<\/p>\n

“The captaincy thing. He is getting really better. He has become a very, very good captain. He was always a very good white-ball captain, but I think he has become a slightly more aggressive red-ball captain. I am looking forward to seeing more of that through this series,” Doull added.<\/p>\n
