5 reasons why Rohit Sharma, not Virat Kohli, should be India's T20I skipper

#3 Dynamism in decisions

Sharma can think on his feet in pressurizing situations

When it comes to making innovative decisions in T20 cricket, Sharma might have the edge over his international skipper. He has the ability to come up with masterful decisions from time to time and is not afraid to deviate from the original plan if the on-field situation demands it.

This kind of dynamism is extremely important in a T20 captain. It not only helps the team recuperate at crucial junctures of the game but also keeps the opposition on its toes at all times.

Sharma is fearless when it comes to taking the occasional risk on the field and more often than not, it manages to pay off in the end. His decision to hold back Dinesh Karthik in the final of the Nidahas Trophy turned the match on its head and swung it ferociously in India’s favour. He can also make quick bowling changes as and when required, thereby not letting the opposition batsmen settle down on the crease anywhere through their innings.

The 30-year-old trusts his guts on pressurizing occasions and more often than not, his decisions breed gold at the end of it all.
