He also praised Rohit as a captain as he has led the team in many games in the absence of Virat and even as a captain of the IPL franchise Mumbai Indians.
Virat believes the combination of Rohit and The newly appointed head coach of the Indian cricket team Rahul Dravid is brilliant as the former cricket player is, according to him, a very balanced coach and team manager.
The cricketer believes in pushing the team in the right direction being a captain or even as a player, and has shown a very positive attitude by offering support and a hundred per cent contribution to whichever direction the new duo will plan to take the Indian cricket team.
