‘Team ultimately belongs to the captain’ – Gautam Gambhir sheds light on  camaraderie with Rohit Sharma

Together, Gautam Gambhir and Rohit Sharma have played a significant amount of cricket, and in 2007 they were both a part of the Indian squad that won the inaugural Twenty20 World Cup. The two are sharing the dressing room now, 17 years later, but they have new titles.

They had a disappointing maiden assignment together as the squad lost the ODI series to Sri Lanka. Nevertheless, in the current Test series against Bangladesh, both will want to reverse the roles. When discussing his friendship with the Hitman, the veteran remarked that it was “fabulous.” He also acknowledged that he was amenable to disagreements regarding timing.

“We’ve spoken on multiple occasions. Because he leads on the pitch, I think the captain ultimately owns the squad. My job and the support staff’s job is to help the captain in whatever manner we can. In the locker room, Rohit’s respect and leadership are essential, according to Gambhir, who was cited by NDTV Sports.

As a result, he is well-liked and respected in the locker room, which is the most important attribute in a leader. I felt like we had a great relationship when we were playing together. He was a wonderful person even back then, and hopefully that will continue, he continued.

The Indian team has a fantastic potential to gain points in the World Test Championship (WTC) cycle with the assignment against Bangladesh. However, the visitors are playing quite well; they won 2-0 against Pakistan in their own country. There was no space for complacency in the team, Rohit said, especially with the Border Gavaskar Trophy coming up in November. The first Test between India and Bangladesh is under underway in Chennai.
