Ishanth Sharma says "Ajinkya Rahane is Bowlers Captain" || crickinfopolls

 

Stand-in captain Ajinkya Rahane is a "good football captain" and clear communication with the players should help him lead the team well ahead of the Test series against Australia, said Indian referee Ishant Sharma.

With regular captain Virat Kohli returning home to give birth to her first child, Rahane will lead India to the remaining three Tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Ishant, who missed the Australian trip due to injury to the team, said Rahane has the potential to play a leadership role well. "He's very quiet and confident and I have to say he's a bowler captain," .

"Every time we played together and Virat was not on the field, he would ask me 'What kind of stadium do you want? When you want to take a bath? If you want to continue (bowling)?"

“He is the captain of the cast. He is not a person who can say ‘do this or do that ... It is very clear what he wants from his team.”

Rahane led India to victory both times as captain without Kohli playing Australia and Afghanistan.

“You can see what kind of person he is as his captain. She is calm and calm. I can't say he doesn't have a sense of humor. He jokes with us, ”said Ishant.

“Jinx (Rahane) distributes calm energy under pressure. There would be no misunderstanding, you would be able to communicate with the throwers very well. ”

Commenting on Kohli, the 32-year-old pacer said: "If there is a growing partnership and it is a flat stage where athletes are just moving their movements, the level of strength of one player can change the situation," he said.

"The kind of power Virat brings to the table… not everyone can be like that."

The second Test is scheduled to be held from Saturday followed by games in Sydney and Brisbane.
