Zee News
India are currently in 5th position in the World Test Championships (WTC) after losing their last Test series against South Africa 2-1 earlier this year.
Team India opener Rohit Sharma will start a new journey, this time as the captain of the Test team as he prepares to lead the side out for the first Test against Sri Lanka in Mohali on Friday (March 4). The Test is also a landmark occasion for Rohit’s predecessor Virat Kohli, who will be turning out in his 100th Test.
Rohit, who is already the T20 and ODI skipper, said that he aims to build on the gains made by Team India in Tests under Kohli. “I am looking forward to winning as many games as possible in Test cricket as well. We are currently standing in a good position in Tests thanks to the efforts of Virat Kohli. All credit should go to Virat for getting us here. I just want to build on the gains made by Kohli,” Rohit Sharma said during the virtual media conference from Mohali on Thursday (March 3).
"It's an achievement Virat Kohli can be proud of."
