Rohit Sharma is the best vice-captain in international cricket at the moment. He won two huge trophies in Asia Cup and Nidahas Trophy without Virat in 2018.

There might be a possibility for Rohit to succeed Virat as a captain sooner than expected. The frequent chances, given to Rohit and the way he grabs the opportunities are all good for his future captaincy aspirations.

He needs to grab one again and win all the matches he captains in the series. This would further increase his win percentage as captain.

Virat is undoubtedly a good captain and his fans would hope for the team to lift the world cup under his leadership but if they do not then there might be a change in captaincy. In such a situation Rohit's past wins would definitely speak for him.

While the pressure is too high on Virat and his fans as the ICC World Cup 2019 approaches the same is on Rohit and his fans as the two matches and T20I series does.
