Rohit Sharma is a great leader: Kevin Pietersen backs India limited-overs skipper to take over as Test captain

Former England skipper Kevin Pietersen believes that India limited-overs captain Rohit Sharma should be handed the Test captaincy as he makes fabulous decisions as a leader.

Former England skipper Kevin Pietersen has backed 'great leader' Rohit Sharma to take over as India Test captain while suggesting that “harsh” bio-bubble life could be one of the reasons for Virat Kohli quitting the captaincy.

Virat Kohli shocked the cricketing world when he announced his decision to quit the Test captaincy. It came a day after India lost a 3-match Test series to South Africa in South Africa. Kohli brought an end to his 8-year tenure as Test captain during which he emerged as India's most successful skipper in the longest format of the game.
