In a recent development within the BCCI, it has been confirmed that Rohit Sharma, affectionately known as the "Hitman," is the preferred choice for Team India's captaincy in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. This revelation comes amid speculation following Rohit's removal from the captaincy of the Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2024.

Despite the change in his leadership role at the franchise level, BCCI officials have clarified that Rohit's captaincy across all three formats remains intact. The decision to relieve him of the Mumbai Indians captaincy is asserted not to impact the BCCI's stance on his leadership for Team India. 

Sources within the BCCI have emphasized that Rohit's successful stint in the ODI World Cup 2023, where he led the team to the final, solidified his position as the frontrunner for the T20 World Cup captaincy.

As the 36-year-old veteran gears up for the Ind vs South Africa Test series, his leadership skills will once again be under scrutiny. Having steered India to the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup last year, Rohit continues to be a vital asset in the twilight phase of his illustrious career.
