"ROHIT IS A BETTER CAPTAIN THAN KOHLI"- EX-INDIAN CRICKETER CONTROVERSIAL COMMENT!

Former India opener Wasim Jaffer has sparked controversy by comparing Virat Kohli to Rohit Sharma.

Sharma, who was appointed India's Test captain following the departure of Kohli after the tour of South Africa, has started his tenure in a good position by whitewashing Sri Lanka 2-0 in the recent series.

Kohli, on the other hand, is one of the most successful Indian Test captains, leading his tally with a winning percentage of 59% with 40 wins in 68 Tests under his leadership. The captain took over from MS Dhoni in 2014-15. Kohli captained Australia for the first time in a four-Test series that season.

In this situation, Jaffer has said that Rohit is the right competitor for Kohli. India made a good start in Test cricket under Rohit's captaincy, winning the series 2-0 against Sri Lanka. Jafar has said that Rohit Sharma can make progress by overtaking Virat Kohli as captain in Test matches.

He added, "Rohit Sharma could be a better Test captain than Virat Kohli. I do not know how many Tests he will be captaining, but tactically I feel he is one of the best captains. "
