IPL 2019: Five reasons behind Mumbai Indians qualifying for the finals

#3 Rohit Sharma's captaincy skills

Rohit Sharma has been phenomenal as a skipper for the Mumbai Indians

Rohit Sharma's captaincy has been applauded by many in recent years. Right since he took over the captaincy of the Mumbai Indians, the fortunes have turned for the franchise. All three titles so far have come under his captaincy. And now, coming into this season, Rohit had the experience of leading the Indian side as well.

This year has not been exactly as Rohit the batsman would have liked, but captain Rohit is surely a happy man right now. The way he has been captaining the side and managing his players is commendable. The way he rotates his bowler is what has brought in a lot of appreciation.

For instance, in the Qualifier 1 against the Chennai Super Kings on May 7, none of the Mumbai bowlers were given two overs on the trot, except for the 18th and 20th over for Jasprit Bumrah. This rotation of bowlers worked beautifully for the team, and Rohit should be credited for these changes.

His tactical and cool mind on the field has led many to believe that he is better captain than Virat Kohli at least in the 20-over format.
