“Role of a leader is always important”: Shahid Afridi praises Rohit Sharma

Former Pakistan all-rounder, Shahid Afridi praised Rohit Sharma’s leadership skills during India’s T20 World Cup triumph.

“Look, the role of a leader is always very important. The body language of the leader becomes the body language of the team. The leader has to set an example. Take Rohit Sharma as an example,” Afridi said.

“Now, look at his (Rohit’s) game and his style of playing; the lower-order batsmen who come in are all confident because the captain likes to play aggressive and attacking cricket. So, I always believe that the role of the captain is very important,” Afridi added.

Speaking about the current Pakistan side and it’s upcoming changes after their disastrous T20 World Cup campaign where Babar Azam’s side got eliminated in the group stages, Afridi said, “I don’t know what the PCB chairman has in mind now and I am also waiting to see what changes will be made but I have always supported the team and will keep doing that. I am also waiting to see what these changes will be. A positive decision needs to be made, and the changes shouldn’t just be superficial.”
