In a stunning display of cricket, Team India, under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, clinched a series victory against England in Ranchi, winning by 5 wickets. This victory gave India a 3-1 lead in the series, with one match left to play.
The final Test is eagerly awaited and is set to take place on March 7 in Dharamsala.
Despite missing key players like Mohammed Shami, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul; Rohit Sharma showed immense trust in the young talent within the team.
Newcomers Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel, and Akash Deep were given their Test debuts and did not disappoint, contributing significantly to the team's success.
Suresh Raina, a former India cricketer, who currently plays in the Indian Veteran Premier League (IVPL) for Uttar Pradesh, heaped praise on Rohit Sharma for his exceptional leadership qualities.
"Rohit Sharma is the Next MS Dhoni. He has done well. He is a brilliant Captain. He backs and uses his young players really well. He has been giving a lot of chances to youngsters the way MS Dhoni did," Raina said while talking to TOI.
He further commented on Rohit's ability to create a supportive environment, likening his respect in the dressing room to that of MS Dhoni.
According to Raina, Rohit's approach of leading from the front and giving confidence to the players is a testament to his successful captaincy.
The victory in Ranchi was a remarkable turnaround for Team India, especially after a loss in the first Test match in Hyderabad.
Rohit Sharma's strategy and the team's resilience led to winning three consecutive Test matches against England.
