Mumbai: Former India captain Anil Kumble, who served as mentor to Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2013 season, has revealed that the then-newly appointed captain of the team, Rohit Sharma was not afraid to say what he thought. He used to reach out to experienced players for advice but took his own decisions. Rohit Tata is by far the most successful captain in the history of the IPL, having won the trophy five times for Mumbai Indians. Rohit Sharma was the captain of Deccan Chargers in the first three seasons of IPL. He was bought by Mumbai Indians in the 2011 auction. Since then he has been an integral part of the team. Will look to lead the team in the 2023 season as well as win them a historic sixth title. Kumble said on Geo Cinema’s Insiders Preview Show, ‘He was not afraid to say what he had to say. He reached out to those who had a lot of experience, but then took his own decisions. That’s what you want from a captain. Along with this, Anil Kumble wants to see Rohit playing at number 4.
Meanwhile, former India fast bowler Zaheer Khan emphasized on how the role of the captain is the most important. “The role of the captain is extremely important, the way he is thinking and taking decisions in a calm manner at crucial times and taking the right decisions and how he is handling the situation. It is a long tournament. The performance of each match can affect the next match.

He said, ‘Rohit has the ability to handle pressure. The way he talks in a calm manner not only with the players but also in the press conference, I think that is his biggest strength. Mumbai Indians have got tremendous success under the captaincy of Rohit. That doesn’t mean he is any less lethal with the bat.
