"For a leader, I think it's important for him to try and lead from the front, set an example for the rest of your colleagues and teammates. And for me, it's always been important that I have always carried myself in a way where I try and set an example for my colleagues. It is not just about what you do on the field, it is also about what you do off the field as well," said Rohit on captaincy and leadership.

He also spoke about treating the players in the team like brothers. Many young players including Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal have often spoken about Rohit's big-brother nature towards them whenever they speak anything about him. They said how he treats everyone equally and is the elder brother within the team.

"And I treat them like family, like brothers you know because as much as you are part of this team, they share equal responsibility and equal share in the team, to be part of that team. So you have got to make them feel homely, you have got to make them feel that you are wanted here," Rohit Sharma added further.

Rohit, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja retired from the T20I format after India's T20 World Cup win. There is unfinished business for Rohit yet as captain as he is keen on winning an ODI World Cup and a World Test Championship as captain as well. Team India are topping the WTC points table currently. They have now played two WTC finals in 2021 and 2023 unfortunately losing both of them.
