Yuvraj Singh said, “It is very important for Rohit Sharma to be in the World Cup. We feel we need a good captain who can take the right decision even under pressure and Rohit is adept at doing that. When we lost the 2023 World Cup, Rohit Sharma was the captain. He has won five IPL trophies as captain. I think we need a player who can captain India. It’s quite funny. We tease them all the time. But he is a really good person. I really want to see Rohit with the World Cup trophy.
