What Irfan Said

"Jung hogi Jung (There will be a huge bidding war for Rohit Sharma I am telling you). He brings one special thing with him and that is 'captaincy experience'. Every team will wish to have a captain like him.

"In the form of Rohit, they will get an Indian captain and therefore will be able to make good use of the Impact Player rule as having an overseas captain at times forces teams to keep him in the playing XI irrespective of his performance," Irfan said while exclusively speaking to India TV.

What's Next For Rohit? 

Rohit would soon be seen leading the Indian side in the Tests versus Bangladesh . He would be an integral part of the side and the fortunes of his team would majorly depend on him.
