India's fast bowling spearhead, Jasprit Bumrah, offered special commendation for skipper Rohit Sharma ahead of the high-octane T20 World Cup 2024 final against South Africa in Barbados on June 29.

Rohit, who had a slow start to the tournament in the US, has since become a formidable force for opposing bowlers in the Caribbean. As India's leading run-scorer in the competition, Rohit has made a huge impact with the bat. 

In seven matches, he has amassed 248 runs at an average of 41.33 and a strike rate of 155.97, including three half-centuries. 

While much attention has been on his batting brilliance, his leadership has received less recognition.

Having closely observed Rohit's on-field strategies, Bumrah lauded his captain's approach and effectiveness.

“Rohit Sharma has been absolutely phenomenal. Even in the previous World Cup you know, he has been proactive, he gives a lot of freedom to his players, he lets the players express themselves," Bumrah was quoted as saying by the ICC.

"When he feels the right time, he shares his own experience during the match. So ya, it feels really great and I feel very happy playing under him and the confidence of the group is also very high," he added. 

Rohit, having regained his form in the last two matches, will be a key player to watch in the final. Indian fans will hope he continues his impressive performance against the Proteas, aiming to fulfill his dream of winning a World Cup as captain.
