Mumbai, April 30 April 24, 2023 was a special day for India but it was doubly special for Mumbai Ind. The day not just marked the great Sachin Tendulkar turning 50, it also marked the ten-year anniversary of Rohit Sharma captaining Mumbai Ind for the first time ever.As the Mumbai Ind return to the Wankhede Stadium to take on Rajasthan Royals on Sunday, the team and coaching staff spoke about captain Hitman Rohit Sharma's decade at the helm.Kieron Pollard, the team's batting coach and one of the players in the MI setup, when Rohit took over captaincy in the middle of the season in 2013, said, "He's grown as a leader. I mean he's grown into leadership. Obviously, it was entrusted onto him in 2013 in the middle of a season. He was still pretty young at that point in time."Pollard said that inspite of being young when he first took charge, Rohit was a quick learner and always showed leadership potential. "That shows you that a person has a great acumen of what he can accomplish and we are lucky to have him as a leader. He has a wealth of experience, so it's a matter of tapping into that and continuing to see him grow."Terming Rohit's career so far as "incredible", bowling coach Shane Bond emphasised the impact that Rohit has had as a personality. "He's such a big personality around our group, on and off the field and particularly in leading this team to where we are now, he has done a brilliant job."Suryakumar Yadav, said that Rohit's numbers as captain speak for themselves and his journey with MI has been an incredible story. "Here we are in his 10th year as captain. So obviously 10 years as captain, that too for a franchise like Mumbai Ind. I think it is a very, very big achievement. It's a story in itself. He's brought so much glory for the franchise, winning five trophies under his captaincy."Ishan Kishan highlighted Rohit's contribution to the team as captain, "Winning 5 Championship as Captain is a great achievement. I know how he is as a captain, he's done so much for the team."Australian all-rounder Cameron Green credited Rohit as a key factor in the team's legacy, saying, "The success that Mumbai have had, a lot of that is to do with him."Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
