Wriddhiman Saha is the first person from the current Indian squad to have given a statement after Rohit Sharma was announced skipper of the 50 overs format for Team India.
The change of power wasn’t smooth by any measure and with Virat Kohli, the incumbent skipper not announcing his resignation and rather BCCI appointing Rohit as his successor through a tweet was seen as a bit putting off for a captain that has given India almost everything in white-ball format apart from an ICC trophy.
There were rumours that this sudden change in the dynamics has resulted in a tense dressing room environment with India going on an important South Africa tour for three Tests and three ODIs. However, Wriddhiman Saha, the Test specialist wicket-keeper batter for India has denied all such rumours and called the dressing room environment as enjoyable as ever.
"Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are very good leaders - I am sure both work together and take the game ahead. Having spent lots of time with them, I can tell you, the dressing room is very happy - everyone has only one interest, work as a team,” Saha was quoted as saying in an interview with Economic Times.
Team India’s South Africa tour begins with the first Test on Boxing Day, December 26 at the SuperSport Park, Centurion.
