Aakash Chopra believes that Rohit Sharma will lead India even if Hardik Pandya is in the playing 11 for the forthcoming T20 World Cup which is taking place in the West Indies and the United States of America.
The senior duo of Kohli and Rohit made a comeback to India's T20I setup for the first time since the end of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022, in what is a major development for the side ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024.

After the completion of the India vs South Africa series, former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar pointed out skipper Rohit Sharma's mistakes while leading the visitors and said that once one loses a moment, then they lose the game.

After the second Test between India and South Africa ended in two days, former India cricketer, Aakash Chopra on his YouTube channel said that "a bad pitch should be called bad, whether it is ours or someone else's."
Bumrah's second-inning six-wicket haul made all the difference as, despite Aiden Markram's ton, South Africa could set only 79 for India to wrap up this Test in around 1.5 days, which India chased down successfully.
Following India's win over South Africa in the second Test that lasted for just 1.5 days at Newlands, youngster Yashasvi Jaiswal said that it was full of unforgettable memories and valuable lessons.
