Srinagar: Former Pakistan captain and batting coach Younis Khan has termed Team India skipper Rohit Sharma as better captain than Babar Azam.
Younis Khan was quoted as saying this by Telegraph India.
“We all know how crucial Rohit and Babar are when it comes to scoring big runs for their teams and the importance they carry in terms of putting up performances of significance,” Younus said.
“Captaincy-wise, Rohit has an edge over Babar because he has had a longer period as a senior Team India member and played under good captains as well. So that experience bodes well for Rohit,” he added.
Sharma has been given charge of the national team at the start of 2021 but has proved his mettle winning five IPL trophies for Mumbai Indians as captain. He also recently became the 1st captain to win 14 T20Is in a row.
Pakistan is set to lock horns with India in a Group A encounter on August 28 at Dubai International Stadium.
