 Rohit Sharma handed over the reins of the Indian cricket team in all three formats earlier this week when he was picked as the captain of the Test side for the two-Test series against Sri Lanka next month. The Mumbai Indians skipper and opener revealed that it is a ‘great feeling’ to captain the side in all three formats of the game.

The Team India opener will lead the side for the first of the three T20 matches against Sri Lanka in Lucknow on Thursday (February 24). “It is a huge honour. It is a great feeling to captain the side in all three formats of the game. Now I have a lot of new challenges to look forward to. I am definitely looking forward to lead the side successfully,” Rohit told the media during a virtual conference from Lucknow on Wednesday (February 23).
