#3 Rohit the captain complements Rohit the batsman
Rohit had a lean run in the IPL this season with an average of 23, scoring a mere 286 runs, but then he has never been an IPL great. He has made more than 500 runs only in one season thus far. His record as captain while opening the innings is better, with an average of 40. He has even won 3 IPL trophies for Mumbai Indians as captain while his predecessors were not able to get their hands on a single one of those.
Trending
Rohit averages 54 while opening for India and while captaining India in ODIs his average is a whopping 109.
If Virat missed this tour, Rohit Sharma can be expected to not only lead the side well but also dominate the bowlers with the bat.
