During a Facebook live session with Bangladesh’s Tamim Iqbal, the latter questioned the Mumbai Indians’ skipper on its qualities. It was in 2013 that Ricky Ponting stepped away as the skipper to make way for India’s present limited-overs vice-captain. Through his astute captaincy and superlative skill with the bat, the 33-year old has beautifully led them. They tasted their most recent success in 2019 with the other three coming in 2013, 2015, and 2017.

Meanwhile, when Tamim asked Rohit, he responded by saying that they are big on scouting for players. It is one of the professional teams that he had worked for within his career. The Mumbai batsman went on to say that when a player becomes captain, they come to know what is taking place inside and out.

“They (Mumbai Indians) are very big on scouting players, Mumbai Indians is one of the most professional teams I have worked within my career so far, especially when I became the captain, I was chosen to lead the side during my third year with the franchise, I was given the captaincy halfway into the 2013 tournament.

When you become the captain, you are part of everything, you know what is happening with the team, that’s when I got to know how professional the team really is, they do great work behind the scenes.” Sharma said as quoted by Times of India.

Rohit Sharma reveals how the scouting team of Mumbai Indians work:

The 33-year old Rohit Sharma went in-depth and disclosed how the three-time champions choose players, who would represent the franchise. After a season of the IPL, the scouting team takes a break for two months after which they begin their search for men for the next edition. They have complete clarity on what they need. The side watches every match in the country to finalise the right players for the franchise.

“The scouts watch every game in India, then they finalise which player is good for Mumbai. After the IPL gets over, all scouts take a two-month break, but then they again start scouting players for next season, they do a lot of homework, they are a very professional team, they are clear about what they want.” he added.
