He's Among The Captains Who Have Won - Darren Sammy Believes Indian Cricket Is Safe In Rohit Sharma's Hands

Former West Indian all-rounder Darren Sammy asserted that the change in captaincy will not affect the Indian team. He also mentioned that the team is in safe hands with Rohit Sharma taking over as the captain.

Under Virat Kohli, India failed to win an ICC trophy. That remains the only blemish in his captaincy stint and Rohit will be expected to make amends in that regard by delivering an ICC trophy that has eluded India for over eight years now.

“Kohli has been exceptional with his performances on the field. I don’t think it will affect the team. Rohit has been an excellent captain (with Mumbai Indians), a good motivational leader. I’ve watched him captaining Mumbai in the IPL. He’s among the captains who have won like MS Dhoni, (Gautam) Gambhir…”

“All these guys can manage to get performances from their teammates. These captains normally get results and win trophies. I’m not worried about Indian cricket. It’s in good hands,” Sammy told PTI.

Darren Sammy gives his thoughts on the Legends League Cricket

The 3-team tournament called the Legends League Cricket has garnered much attention. It is a throwback to the old times with the former cricketing legends taking to the field and providing the fans with an overdose of nostalgia. Speaking about the tournament, Sammy said:

“The tournament has been a success, every game is so exciting. We came here to win. Hopefully, another win and we take home the beautiful trophy. The fans who saw you 10-15 years (ago) get to see you again. Look at the likes of KP (Kevin Pietersen), (Herschelle) Gibbs, all these guys coming and entertaining. This league could go far.”
