Interestingly, on the other hand, at the post-match presentation ceremony, Rohit Sharma was asked about what kind of captain he is. Replying to the same, Sharma replied, "I'm not someone who'll run with a stick behind someone. The only way you can do it is by giving them confidence. So you have to strike that right balance".
