Since Rohit Sharma has taken over the captaincy, India have reached new heights in T20 cricket. The Dravid-Rohit duo has been strategically spot-on, scripting numerous victories for the Men in Blue in the shortest format. 

Ahead of the crucial Super 12 clash against South Africa, head coach Rahul Dravid heaped praise on Rohit Sharma for his incredible leadership qualities. Fondly regarded as 'The Wall', Dravid also revealed how cooperative Rohit has been and explained how their good off-field bond has worked wonders for India. 

Here's what Dravid Stated

"He is quite relaxed, which helps the group. He is open to suggestions and ideas. We have built a good , relaxed relationship where we challenge each other. My job is to support him and his vision and to give him some space to focus on his own game as well. Him playing well is good for us, he is a class player."

Meanwhile, India are in a critical position against South Africa, courtesy of a fiery opening spell from Lungi Ngidi. The decision to bat first on the spicy Perth pitch backfired on India, as their top order collapsed within seven overs. 

As of writing, India are 101 for six in 15.1 overs, with Suryakumar Yadav fighting at one end.
