Team India has entered into another ICC event final under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy. After having an amazing outing in the ongoing Champions Trophy, Team India is all set to face New Zealand in the final match on March 9.

Over the years, Rohit Sharma’s fitness has become a concern for some people as they criticized the Indian captain over his physique. Now, Team India’s T20I captain backs Rohit Sharma over this issue.

Suryakumar Yadav Backs Rohit Sharma Over The Fitness Issue

After years of ICC heartbreaks, Team India made a stunning comeback under Rohit Sharma's leadership. Under his guidance, Team India climbed to new heights by entering four finals of ICC events. After 17 years of waiting, Team India claims back the T20 World Cup Trophy in 2024 under his leadership.

But often, the Indian captain was criticized for his physical fitness. In recent days, a political leader addressed him as unfit, and that has stirred up controversy. Amidst this situation, Suryakumar Yadav extended his support to the Indian skipper over this issue.

“If you see him as a captain, in the last 4 years he has taken the team to the finals of 4 ICC trophies so it is a big thing & if a person is playing cricket for 15-20 years, it is a big thing - I have seen him closely, he works very hard - according to me, he is at the top & I wish him all the best for the finals,” he said.

Rohit Sharma Eyes Final Redemption

After their triumphant T20 World Cup win in 2024, Team India has secured another ICC final spot. They are set to take on New Zealand in the final match of the ongoing Champions Trophy on March 9. In the ongoing tournament, the Men in Blue shined with their exceptional form.

After completing the group stage without facing a defeat, Team India is still unbeaten in the tournament as they defeated Australia in the semifinal and entered into the final showdown. With just one final hurdle left, Rohit Sharma and Co. are determined to extend their dominant run and clinch the ultimate trophy in the Champions Trophy final.
