Indian skipper Rohit Sharma is continuously on the receiving end of harsh criticism from the former cricketers and fans as well. It all started with the embarrassing defeat of team India against England in the second semi-final of the 20-20 World Cup 2022. Few people are arguing that the star Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya should be appointed as the T20I skipper of the Indian team.

Meanwhile, former Pakistan skipper Salman Butt has something very different to say about this concern about the Indian team's captaincy in the shortest format of the game. Butt felt that current skipper Rohit Sharma has done nothing wrong in this format while leading the team.
Here's what Salman Butt said about Rohit Sharma's captaincy
"I don't know who is seeing him as captain and who is watching such dreams. He has talent and has tasted success in the IPL. But even Rohit Sharma has been successful five to six times in the IPL. If he had scored well in a couple of matches (in the T20 World Cup 2022), people wouldn't have been talking about making this change at the top," said Butt in a video on his YouTube channel.
"In the Asian subcontinent, people start talking about such drastic and big changes rather soon. Not all of them, but quite a few, who probably don't understand how these things work. Sometimes, just for the sake of giving an opinion, people say, 'change the captain'," he added later.
While summing up his remarks, Butt went a bit more realistic while talking about judging any captain on the basis of success in the World Cup only.
"Only one captain has won the World Cup, the rest of the teams have lost. Will you change the captains of all 11 teams because they lost the World Cup?" the 38-year-old concluded.
Speaking of Rohit Sharma, he is not a part of the Indian team in the ongoing three-match T20I series against New Zealand. The men in blue are there in the Kiwi's backyard to play under the captaincy of the star all-rounder Hardik Pandya.
